Application and performance of high‐resolution monochrome CRT display systems in radiology are reviewed. Current CRT monitors with addressable matrices of four to five million pixels exhibit a relatively wide quality range. Good samples provide performance adequate for the primary diagnosis task when allowing the user to interact with the display system. Viewing without user interaction appears to require automatic implementation of application‐dependent display functions and display‐device‐specific MTF restoration. The market for high‐resolution display systems is relatively small. Over the next years, only several thousand high‐resolution monochrome CRT monitors will be purchased annually for radiology in the USA.
