I did this because I wasn't believing in the service switch on the TV, it looked awesome at first, but something was off, flesh tones.

Oddly when the gamut was measured, we learned something about both the phosphors and the NTSC decoder.. The green phosphors aren't good on this CRT, and the NTSC decoder just can't get magenta and cyan right. (Cyan is probably due to the odd green phosphors). Blue and red however, are freakin perfect.

On these charts, which are the aim points and which are your set? (squares vs round dots)
