ABSTRACT:
A method for detecting the warm-up of a television CRT includes the following steps during a warm-up phase of the tube: providing the CRT with warm-up signals during predetermined line periods at the initial portion of frames; and detecting the cathode current of the tube during the occurrence of windows in correspondence with the predetermined line periods in order to enable black level regulation loops. The windows have a width smaller than a line period and are approximately centered on the line periods.
