CRT

Cathode Ray Tube: the traditional heavy television or monitor retro games were designed for.

CRT stands for Cathode Ray Tube, the display technology used by televisions and monitors before flat panels. CRTs display 240p retro games natively with scanlines and zero processing lag, which is why many enthusiasts consider them the most authentic way to play. They are heavy and increasingly expensive, and alternatives like RetroTink upscalers recreate much of the look on modern TVs.
