CRTnäytöillä

CRTnäytöillä, short for Cathode Ray Tube displays, refers to a type of video display technology that was prevalent for decades before the widespread adoption of LCD and OLED screens. These monitors utilize a vacuum tube containing an electron gun and a fluorescent screen. An electron beam, modulated by a magnetic field, scans across the screen, exciting phosphors that emit light and create the image.

The primary characteristic of CRTnäytöillä is their depth, a consequence of the electron gun's need to project a beam onto the screen. They are also known for their high refresh rates and excellent color reproduction, especially in professional applications like graphic design and video editing. However, CRTs are also heavy, consume significant power, and can suffer from geometric distortions and screen burn-in.

Despite being largely superseded by newer technologies, CRTnäytöillä still hold a niche appeal for some users. Retro gaming enthusiasts often prefer them for their authentic look and feel, as many classic consoles were designed with CRT displays in mind. Additionally, some artists and designers appreciate the unique visual qualities and the lack of input lag associated with CRT technology. The manufacturing of new CRT monitors has significantly declined, making them increasingly rare.
