CRTs additionally impose their own limit on how sharp the picture can get horizontally. Confusingly, these are called "television lines", even though you'd think that refers to the horizontal scanlines that do discretely divide up the picture vertically. Color CRTs further limit the amount of color resolution independent of luminance resolution, and how they do that depends on what specific phosphor pattern they use, how they separate electrons from each color gun, etc.
