It's worth pointing out that the networks here in the USA used different hardware systems, as well... the CBS system was particularly notorious for having a somewhat "pastel" color palette, particularly in comparison to NBC.

Years ago I was adjusting the color balance on a modern CRT computer monitor.
I had made a wallpaper in MS Paint of a color bar test pattern mimicking the NTSC pattern. I found that when I turned the green and blue channels to zero, that the red no longer looked red, rather an orange with a sepia cast. Since then, I've wondered if CRT color TV sets abt computer monitors was delivered with a very blue color balance (9300K versus about 5500K of daylight illumination) because the "orange-sepia" yttrium red phosphor looks red against such a bluish image (comments most welcome). |

watch the brightness level

If you look at some of the new flat panel with the THX settings they really cut back the contrast and brightness to take advantage of the visual effects of the film, the same could be said of the older color sets if you back down the contrast you really start seeing the beauty of the product.

Unequal currents are always a problem due to possible blooming of the spot size of the most heavily driven gun on highlights, putting a color halo around small bright details. Before rare-earth reds, the 9300K was a compromise to get acceptable beam ratios. After rare earth reds appeared, 9300 was still used in some sets apparently because people were used to it, even though it wasn't necessary. Mitsubishi used a very cyan white point in their rear projos for a long time, and I personally think whoever made that decision should have been fired and replaced with someone who had a clue. |
