Well, I didn't write that, but...
...yes. However, I see nothing wrong with using "flat" to refer to
something that's, oh, say, 15"x18"x4" as compared to, say,
15"x18"x20".
Unless you mean there are flat-screen CRTs that have also done away
with the long neck?
Wouldn't that really be a "Flat Monitor" then? The screen may be flat,
but so is the screen to a number of other CRT based monitors. I have one
such TV, and I have two monitors that the screen is flat (although they
are not flat screen technology, rather they are flat as a side effect of
the touch screen that is installed on them).
Flat Screen CRT is just that, a CRT with a flat screen.
