SCREEN SIZE

Screen size in CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) technology refers to the physical dimensions of the display area on a CRT monitor or television. It is typically measured diagonally from one corner of the screen to the opposite corner. Note that there is a difference between the actual screen size and the viewable screen size, where the viewable screen always is smaller than the actual screen size.

In CRT technology, screen sizes can vary widely, ranging from smaller monitors used for desktop computers to larger televisions used for home entertainment. CRT screens were available in various sizes, typically starting from around 5 inches and going up to 43 inches or more for televisions.

The screen size of a CRT monitor or television impacts the viewing experience. Larger screens provide a more immersive and cinematic experience, allowing for a larger viewing area and more detailed visuals. However, it's important to consider the viewing distance as well, as sitting too close to a large CRT screen can lead to discomfort or eye strain.

When selecting a CRT monitor or television, it's crucial to consider the intended use, available space, and viewing preferences. The screen size should be chosen based on the desired level of immersion, viewing comfort, and the specific requirements of the content being displayed.
