I remember this one! Great video, and very cool effect too.
I suppose he explains it in the video, I don't recall, but with regards to the title, these are CRT televisions, they don't have pixels.
They shoot an electron beam in horizontal sweeping lines across a mask behind the glass to achieve their image. Way more analogue than pixels.
But yeah, this video is a wonder to behold, do check it out :-)
They absolutely have pixels. They aren’t directly addressable but they exist.
They're kinda addressable in that the electron beam scans across a line, and every through each line, with a pulse activating the (iirc phosphor) at the pixel for the desired colour.
