> Why are we still generating video signals as if there is a CRT on the other end? Because it's extremely simple electronically. It was designed to be simple to work with very slow electronic hardware made of discrete components. So it's basically child's play to generate it with a modern FPGA as there are huge error bars even if you make some small mistakes. Also blanking areas are still important because at the end of a pixel row there is still some amount of extra electronic stuff happening that is slightly slower than jumping to the next pixel. Even on LCDs or OLEDs. Even 4K HDR HDMI 2.1 still has something akin to blanking intervals.
