yes. Black matrix tubes have better contrast and the color seems "truer" All Zenith Chromacolor tubes are Black Matrix and that's why they have such a good picture. The tube in this set (RCA Highlite) is black matrix as well and was an all new tube when installed. Not a rebuild. Don't know much on the history on this set. The guy I bought it from purchased it at an estate sale in the "rich" part of town in Little Rock. He said they had a new set as well, but this one was still plugged in and he was surprised when he turned it on that it still worked. This set is a CTC-16 chassis, which was one of my favorite sets. He did not want to sell it, but he is moving to a smaller place in the summer and they are downsizing and selling a ton of stuff. He was really nice, and for those of you that have never been there, Arkansas is a beautiful state. I was impressed. The seller said he had gotten an email from someone in Maryland, that said if the deal fell thru with me he was set to come get it. I wonder if it was another AK'er? I'm happy all worked out and this is such a nice set. It is staying with me!
