Convenient Industrial CRT Display Retrofit Program

Convert and upgrade your legacy CRT operator panel to modern LCD technology with VarTech’s CRT display retrofit program

For some time now the LCD market has replaced Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) technology, however, there are still a large number of processes and applications that utilize CRTs as the main means of display and communication between the operator of machinery and the process. CRTs are heavy, take up space, and consume large amounts of electricity. Original CRT manufacturers have migrated production to LCD technology which has made locating available usable CRTs difficult if not impossible. Use VarTech’s CRT display retrofit program to upgrade your displays to the newest LCD technology.

With many industrial/medical/military applications, these CRT monitors are embedded in the equipment they supervise and/or control which makes upgrade difficult and sometimes impossible. Unique shapes, screen sizes, mechanical formats, and communication interfaces are typically different than current LCD technology which can require costly and substantial modifications to the customer’s host equipment that may be inefficient or even impossible. Another distinct problem lies in communication between the much older host equipment and the new LCD display. Typically, current LCD communication protocol will not interface with the host equipment which might be 10-30 years old.
