How do CRTs compare to LCDs?

CRTs (cathode ray tubes) and LCDs (liquid crystal displays) differ primarily in their technology and design. CRTs use electron beams to illuminate phosphor-coated screens, resulting in bulkier and heavier displays, while LCDs utilize liquid crystals and backlighting, making them thinner, lighter, and more energy-efficient. Additionally, LCDs offer better image quality, sharper resolution, and reduced flicker compared to CRTs. As a result, LCDs have largely replaced CRTs in modern display technology.
