But you'd see crawling dots on color transitions, and you'd see large regions of crawling checkerboard patterns on colored areas if the set had no filtering. The notch filter would remove pretty much everything in the luma above 3 MHz, and that's the missing sharpness. I used to work for RCA doing better chroma luma separators in the 80s.
I'm going to judge, that based on this kind of picture mine produces, it's going to be a comb filter due to the dot crawl it has.
