Love a HUE challenge! As soon as I read your post I cranked up the CT-100 for a half-hour warm-up. A small Asus Eee netbook is the reference image provider.
My results are definitely different from the 'reference' in these two areas: [1] the lip gloss on the actress is virtually nonexistent on the reference and [2] the hair is perhaps best described as light rust orange on the 'reference' and a darker reddish-orange on the CRT.
Note: sorry the photo attached is a bit overexposed.
The TV image you see at the left of the photo is on RCA's f38310, its first hi-def set (circa 2000), fed with component video from a Blu-ray disc; the netbook screen is in the middle; and on the right, hopefully the best-calibrated RCA CT-100 (1954) in operation today fed with composite video from a full-screen DVD. [the CT-100 is modified to accept composite video; audio is delivered to the set's front-end via a DRAKE VM2310 video modulator, thereby utilizing virtually all the CT-100's circuitry]
In conclusion, why does lip gloss, apparent on my sets, not show on the 'reference?' Why do the first and last RCA color sets both show virtually identical hair color although the 'reference' is different? And finally, why does the photo show the same hair color on the Eee 'reference' when my eyeballs see it much different as described above?
Me-thinks it points out the difficulty in evaluating color video system performance.
