Yes, high-resolution B&W sets will show the chroma as various patterns of dots, and the solution is to use the Y signal from an S-video or component-video output of a DVD player or digital-TV tuner into a modulator. Once color TV hit in the mid-50s, I think they just started making all the sets with lower bandwidth in general, but I may be wrong. A notch filter on 3.58 MHz would have helped, but I don't know if they were used in B&W sets later or not.
