Ha, yes it is. I dragged Sony and Panasonic CRTs around on shoots from the '90s through approx 2008.

But, it would be more difficult for that kid to balance a flat screen on his shoulder.

Still see those on network broadcast sporting events. Fewer and fewer, but they're still around.

Actually, it's a camera disguised as a monitor... :happy:
"But, it would be more difficult for that kid to balance a flat screen on his shoulder." is probably pretty close.
I think thats what they use...when the "hosts" (HBO in this case are asking Mayweather to look over his latest handy work and make comments on the footage during the live broadcast.)
variables that are inherent to flat screens... viewing pitch, brightness/glare, and field tough...probably, its just easier to playback footage of these old field monitors.
Thats my guess at least.

It's also probably a question of upgrading. I'm assuming whoever is in charge of those cameras has been doing this for a long time? Chances are they have a full arsenal of cameras and monitors and equipment. Most likely, for both money and practicality, it would cost them more to upgrade the entire system than to keep it running as is. If it still works, why not?

It's what kids these days imagine cell phones must have looked like in 1977.

Not if you're editing HD.
The monitor in the original post is just for reference. Resolution wasn't critical for that purpose.

I still use a jvc dtv CRT with hd-sdi. Thing is always accurate.
