I never knew 30 year old equipment had DVI and HDMI ports! I thought these ports were relativity new?
My great grandma has a 14in CRT from the 70s which states it is "High Definition. I had my self a small chuckle.

30 year old equipment doesn't. Hazel just has his old equipment hooked up to his modern hi-def set for the sound.
Yeah, there was a point at which color CRTs stopped using a 'delta' phosphor pattern and started using an 'inline' phosphor pattern. If you look really close at most modern crts, you will notice that the phosphor dots are in a straight line right-to-left RED/GRN/BLU/RED/GRN/BLU, etc. Delta pattern CRTs have the three color phosphors 120ยบ in a circle with one another; basically, in a triangle.
The new inline guns came about in the 70s with the advent of Sony's Trinitron picture tube, followed shortly my Mitsubishi's Diamondtron and thereafter by other imitators. That's what High Definition meant.
