A question about the circuitry of modern TVs

[basil lambri]

I am not a technician but I know that the old color TVs with vacuum tubes had something like 16 different circuits controlling the picture. That was reduced in later solid state TVs to 1 circuit controlling the 3 guns. Zenith for example had about 8 modules in their Chromacolor solid state TV sets. Then they reduced it to 3 modules in their System 3 sets and then to 2 modules.

My question is doesn't this big reduction in circuits affect the performance of the newer solid state sets compared to the good performance of the older TVs?
