"Analog TV monitors technically don't have pixels, but red, green and blue dots which, in groups of three, approximate a picture element. But for the moment, let's discuss both analog and digital displays as having pixels. This is, for all practical purposes, the case."

Michael Rubin, Nonlinear: A Field Guide to Digital Video and Film Editing (Gainesville, FL: Triad, 2000), p. 175.
