When I worked in radio/TV operating cameras I remember broadcast cameras at least used to have an area marked off inside the viewfinder that you were supposed to keep the most important parts of the picture in (like people's heads) and I think this represented the area of the round color picture tube.
The effect on a round set would be the same as if you increased both the width and height controls on a rectangular...the edges are just outside of the area of the tube. It would be possible to see the whole picture on a round color tube if you "underscanned" both the height and width.
I know rectangular studio monitors of the late 90's allowed you to underscan the picture to make sure you saw all of the edges of the picture...did the round color studio monitors also have such a feature, or were they adjusted by default to underscan the picture?
