Probably using a signal splitter/amplifier. One source, it goes to the splitter so the video can be distributed to multiple monitors, and the signal is boosted to compensate for signal weakening because of splitting. There should be no input lag as there's no converting of the signal from one form to another, just boosting and splitting in the analog domain.

@@riggel8804 I think a part of the reason that it looks like an ag is the replacement of iron or steel with invar as the material for the mask. "Most picture tubes use standard shadow masks made of steel, which can expand under intense heat. Expansion of the shadow mask causes picture discoloration, often called "doming." But Invar shadow masks are made of a compound of iron and nickel, rendering them extremely heat-resistant. This high thermal tolerance eliminates doming and allows the tube to operate at a higher voltage, producing brighter whites, higher contrast, and purer colors.".

And it's a pity that there are almost no CRT 1080i TVs in Russia. There is a Samsung, but it just receives a HD-signal, and displays a maximum of 1024x576p on the screen with poor beam convergence. A real Toshiba HD CRT in a city far away from me. Замечательный телевизор! Сейчас большинство людей их не ценит и избавляется от них.

It was cool while it lasted but if you got $5,000.00 to spend on a tv in 2020 you can do better than a crt. Part of the reason they are cool is that people don't appreciate them and give them away for free. For $20.00 you can't do better than a CRT. Are you in Russia?

@@riggel8804 Yes, CRTs are very affordable in Russia. But there is almost no CRT with ultra-fine dot pitch and high resolution. 480i is a very low resolution. I plan to purchase a Panasonic CRT for ₽2,000. It supports progressive scan and has a VGA 640x480 input at 60Hz. I will use it to play on Xbox 360 S. For Xbox 360 games and backwards compatible with the original Xbox. In Russia, very few licensed games were sold in physical copies, and I do not spend money on purchases on Xbox Live, it is expensive and impractical at the moment. So for now I have to download pirated games on Freeboot. But I will use this TV until it breaks from service life, because almost no one repairs CRTs now. I am a student, I am 18 years old and I still live with my parents, we do not have a scholarship in our educational institution. And salaries in Russia are very low, especially in our region. We have a big family so we can't afford OLED and CRT is the best option. We have a ₽13,000 32" Dexp LED Smart TV (1366x768) and an early Philips 37" LCD TV (1360x768), but black levels and color quality can't compete with CRTs. These displays are only superior in resolution. In the future, I will definitely buy myself an OLED display. All the same, technologies are developing and they are already superior to CRT in almost everything.

I'm not sure what is physically going on that makes this possible. My guess is that the interlacing pattern happens so fast that on a sharp tv your eye perceives a scanline. Similar to the optical illusion that allows a series of images to be perceived as motion when shown quickly i.e. a cartoon.

I just got a 24af43 the other day that someone put on the curb during my areas spring-cleaning free pick up day. No remote, but the tv is pretty amazing (Bought a 9$ GE Universal remote, which granted me access to all the menus). While the TV is great, I also got a 20in Sony Trinitron from 1989 off the curb at the same house. The person most of really knew their TVs and I'm unsure why they put these on the curb as the Sony also still looks like new despite being 33 years old. Between the two TVs I have a hard time choosing between the Sony and the Toshiba. The Toshiba wins in the scenarios where I can use component video, such as using my nintendo WII, and hopefully soon a SNES Component cable. The Toshiba has also has slightly better color pop than the older sony, and also denoises composite signals better (expected I guess from a 2003 vs a 1989 TV). The sony on the other hand, I prefer the tried and true aperture grill aesthetic over the mask of the toshiba, I also think the pixels are also usually a lot more consistently square. The biggest drawback of the Sony is the lack of S-Video or Component Video, if those were available on this set it would be interesting to see how much difference i t would make. The biggest drawback to the Toshiba is that there appears to be display bending that I can notice occur occasionally. My overall conclusion if i truly had to say which TV is better, I would learn towards the Toshiba, but I keep finding myself going back to the Sony.

@@overnightdelivery Haha yeah. They definitely didn't have us in mind when making service codes. There is info out there on the big hitters like Toshiba, Sony and JVC but good luck with anything else. I was able to get into my Mitsubishi's service menu and make adjustments and that is an obscure tv so it's possible. Don't give up too quick.

You got lucky. The Sony is going to look better than the Toshiba. Only the 32 inch and 36 inch AF models have the superior tube in them. The 24 inch AF has a generic Orion tube.
