That definitely looks like it has a comb filter. What year is the TV from? Comb filters were first available to consumers in Magnavox TV sets in 1980, and they spread to other brands (but mostly in higher-end models, especially at first) within the next few years. Sony was one of the few brands that put comb filters in some of their 13-inch sets.

Late-NTSC-era Samsung TV sets (late 1990s and newer) often had quite good pictures.
