Sony Trinitron KV-27FS100 Monochrome CRT

A 27-inch monochrome cathode-ray tube (CRT) television picture tube designed for non-high definition display with a viewing screen capable of fewer than 700 scanning lines and aspect ratio less than 16:9. This tube uses electron beam excitation of phosphors on the glass faceplate to render black-and-white video images, typical for legacy broadcast monitors. It falls under HTS 8540.12.50 as a non-high definition monochrome cathode-ray television picture tube.
