What are Direct View Televisions?
Direct-view HDTVs may be either widescreen or non-widescreen. Direct-view
televisions use a CRT and a scanning electronic gun to "paint" an image on a phosphor
coated screen. Also known as Tube TVs, Direct View TVs have smaller screen sizes
and are rapidly losing favor among consumers as LCD TVs have dropped in price over
the years.
Disadvantages of Direct View Televisions
Many Direct-View TV’s sets are now equipped with a built-in HD receiver. A more
severe limitation of the direct-view TV, HD-wise, is that the shadow mask at the
front of the tube doesn't have enough perforations to display any HDTV format at
its full resolution. Most CRT's do not have the image properly centered and sized
on the screen. Now that HDTV has been around for a few years it is possible to buy
a set with full high-definition capability at a surprisingly reasonable price.

CRT Technology in Direct View TV’s
A Cathode Ray Tube TV is what most people call the "common" TV. CRT TVs are still
sold with a range of brands. CRT TVs are much heavier than plasma, LCD and DLP televisions.
CRT TV or Cathode Ray Tube Television uses, as the name suggests, a cathode ray
tube to create a viewable image. Your CRT TV (flat-screen version) like its newer
counterparts will allow you to view the screen at multiple angles. Finally your
CRT TV has a longer lifespan, very reliable, & displays good picture quality.
