Direct View Video Display

Video display in which the light produced by a cathode ray tube is viewed directly without first bouncing off a screen; common type of television and video monitor ranging in size from 12 inches to 40 inches (measured diagonally) having a glass screen and being fairly deep. Most consumer televisions and computer monitors are direct view displays. A direct view display is similar to looking directly at the light coming from a flashlight instead of looking at the light as it bounces off the wall. Direct view displays tend to work the best in bright light conditions and have the greatest light output (compared to front projection displays).
