The mode settings on the new sets just switch in different presets of color, tint, brightness, contrast, etc. You can manually set each one and get the same effect. GE's VIR system was one of those things that worked well in theory on paper, but didn't work well in the real world. For one thing the brodcasting station had to broadcast the vir signal which would be generated by the originating station, maybe. Often it was lost in the network relays, or tweeked along the way, so it just wasn't much use. I have seen sets with worse pictures with VIR on than off.
