Abstract: This article gives a brief history of the development of the shadow-mask color CRT from its monochrome roots. The reasons for the overwhelming superiority of this tube are presented. Other approaches to color television are also briefly referred to including the index type of color CRTs, projection color TV, and the current LCD color display. The many advancements since the color CRTs were introduced in 1952 are covered, including the numerous improvements past and still continuing. Some thoughts as to the future of color displays are also considered.
