The picture was brighter then the other TV's there, but I've overdriven TV's before, either to compensate for a dim picture tube, or to better show darker scenes, and it's usually the 90's Zeniths that have color bleeding. The brighter the red, the worse it is. On the RCA I saw, the red was easily smearing a good 2 or 3 inches. There were no retrace lines, so the tube couldn't have been driven too hard.
