The diagonal screen size of a CRT television is limited to about 100 cm (40 in) because of size requirements of the cathode-ray tube, which fires three beams of electrons onto the screen to create a viewable image. A large-screen TV requires a longer tube, making a large-screen CRT TV of about 130 to 200 cm (50 to 80 in) unrealistic.
The following table compares cathode-ray tube (CRT), liquid-crystal display (LCD), plasma and organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display device technologies. These are the most often used technologies for television and computer displays.
A generic LCD TV, with speakers on either side of the screen. Liquid-crystal-display televisions (LCD TV) are television sets that use liquid-crystal displays to produce images. LCD televisions are much thinner and lighter than CRTs of similar display size and are available in much larger sizes (e.g., 90-inch or 230-centimetre diagonal). When ...
On 2D displays, such as computer monitors and TVs, display size or viewable image size (VIS) refers to the physical size of the area where pictures and videos are displayed. The size of a screen is usually described by the length of its diagonal , which is the distance between opposite corners, typically measured in inches.
A common size for LCDs manufactured for small consumer electronics, basic mobile phones and feature phones, typically in a 1.7" to 1.9" diagonal size. This LCD is often used in portrait (128×160) orientation. The unusual 5:4 aspect ratio makes the display slightly different from QQVGA dimensions. 160×128 (20k) 160 128 20,480 5:4 UNNAMED UNNAMED

The below distinguish SAR (aspect ratio of pixel dimensions), DAR (aspect ratio of displayed image dimensions), and the corresponding PAR (aspect ratio of individual pixels), though it currently contains some errors (inconsistencies), as flagged.
As a result of these size limitations, rear projection systems became popular [8] [9] as a way of producing television sets with a screen size larger than 12 inches. [10] Using a 3 or 4 inch monochrome CRT driven at a very high accelerating voltage for the size (usually 25,000 volts [ 11 ] though RCA did produce a larger five inch tube that ...
