This statement implies that monitor tubes are supposed to be
different from TV tubes. I am not in this line of business, so I
don't know for sure. But I always thought that the difference
between a monitor and a TV is in the front end signal processing
circuitry.  The tubes should be basically the same. Can anyone
explain why they should be different? What is the disadvantage if you
use TV tubes in monitors?
