A television monitor display with video signal processing comprises a source (SM) of a video display signal (Y) including a sync component (S). A video processor (U1) is coupled to process the video display signal (Y). A sync separator (SS) is coupled to generate separated synchronizing signals (Sy) from the sync component (S) of the video display signal (Y). A video amplifier (100) is coupled to the sync separator (SS) and the video processor (U1) and generates an output video signal (Ys+) wherein a sync component (S+) of the output video signal is increased in amplitude in accordance with the separate synchronizing signals (Sy) coupled to the video amplifier (100).
