[QUOTE=Tomcomm;3003530]...I read somewhere the modern SMPTE phosphors are more orange/red since they produce better "flesh tones" with less accurate chroma demodulators...QUOTE]
I was on the SMPTE monitor committee, and I can tell you that the colors were standardized based on what was available in the tubes made with controlled phosphor batches and supplied in Conrac monitors. In "SMPTE C primaries," the "C" stands for Conrac. The relatively slight variations in red phosphors over the years has little effect on flesh tones compared to the changes in green and blue, especially green.
