I most certainly used a wrong term somewhere, but here’s a caveat: what if you plug your Nintendo yellow wire into the 50” or if you were lucky enough to have a crt with dvi-d or hdmi input back in the day?
For the Nintendo to 50”, it uses a frame buffer. The tv stores incoming lines in a buffer until there’s enough of em to make a frame, then it reads em out and uses different ways of mangling the frame to fit it to the native resolution and turns on and off the shutters or light sources. This is one of the reasons that some old game people complain about panel lag, there’s others, but that’s one.
When you jam hdmi into your cutting edge late game crt, the same thing happens but in reverse. The signal comes in as a frame and the tv mangles it to make it into an analog raster signal it can feed into an electron gun and then does its thing. This also ads delay!
