( A monitor of 700 lines would be overkill for us, ok in France, though ). However, synchronization and other information occur in that dark band you see when you turn vertical hold, called the blanking pulse(or some other buzzword). This limits usable information to a maximum of 484 vertical lines. HDTV is proposing to have something on the order of 1150 lines.
