Hansel, a male model, believes there is a cache of secret files inside of a computer monitor. Him and his friend Zoolander break the monitor open and electrocute themselves on the capacitors inside. What type of monitor did they disassemble?
Correct Incorrect Unanswered Report Issue Answer Description
Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) are older types of monitors that are less common. Still if you encounter one you should never take it apart or disassemble it as it has capacitors inside that can hold electricity for some time even after powered off.

A cathode-ray tube (CRT) is a vacuum tube containing one or more electron guns, which emit electron beams that are manipulated to display images on a phosphorescent screen. The images may represent electrical waveforms (oscilloscope), pictures (television set, computer monitor), radar targets, or other phenomena. A CRT on a television set is commonly called a picture tube. CRTs have also been used as memory devices, in which case the screen is not intended to be visible to an observer. The term cathode ray was used to describe electron beams when they were first discovered, before it was understood that what was emitted from the cathode was a beam of electrons.
In CRT television sets and computer monitors, the entire front area of the tube is scanned repeatedly and systematically in a fixed pattern called a raster. In color devices, an image is produced by controlling the intensity of each of three electron beams, one for each additive primary color (red, green, and blue) with a video signal as a reference. In modern CRT monitors and televisions the beams are bent by magnetic deflection, using a deflection yoke. Electrostatic deflection is commonly used in oscilloscopes.A CRT is a glass envelope which is deep (i.e., long from front screen face to rear end), heavy, and fragile. The interior is evacuated to 0.01 pascals (1×10−7 atm) to 0.1 micropascals (1×10−12 atm) or less, to facilitate the free flight of electrons from the gun(s) to the tube's face without scattering due to collisions with air molecules.
