Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'CRT' specifies the type of 'screen' (a cathode‑ray tube display), so a learner who knows both constituents can derive that it is a display that uses a CRT. This straightforward noun–noun specification pattern is common in English and other languages, making it readily understandable to B1 learners who know the parts.
Etymology
The name CRT screen comes from the long glass tube inside old monitors, the CRT or 'cathode-ray tube', which used a beam to paint pictures on the screen. So CRT screen now means the older, bulky type of display.
