What the heck is the HOT?

I know, probably completely obvious, but I honestly want to know.
 
It also depends on the way its used in a sentence.

She is the HOT!

Or

Did you replace the HOT?

But then Did you replace the HOT? could mean did you get a new girlfriend.
 
Horizontal Output Transistor - it's the large transistor on the big heat sink, and it's a critical part of the horizontal deflection circuit, and flyback drive.

HOT can also refer to the Horizontal Output Tube - the tube the performed the same function in televisions before high-power transistors were commonplace. And in that case, it was real easy to find, since it really was the tube that got the hottest!
