Abstract
An inventive method for preventing focus flutter display in a TV receiver or monitor includes the steps of amplifying a received signal for driving cathode elements of a cathode ray tube, and delaying initial full amplification of the signal during the amplifying step for a duration sufficient to prevent focus flutter display on the tube. A corresponding inventive kine driver circuit that prevents display of focus flutter includes an amplifier for amplifying and coupling received video signals to cathode elements of a picture tube, and a control circuit for delaying full amplification of the video signals to be fed to the cathode elements for a duration sufficient to prevent focus flutter display on the tube.
