Comb filters were probably the biggest improvement back then.
You could demo it easily by showing individual hairs & lack of
"barber poling". VIR was the only true auto color scheme that worked.
All others just twisted truth on the colors, thats why I always say
turn them off & adjust manually. Light sensors I remember back
to early 60's Maggies & dont see sense in.
Sears sets were not respected due to many factors, a lot of it
earned. The Sears/Sanyo & Sears/Toshiba solid state sets were of
very good to excellent quality. The tube sets are another story......
IMHO as usual
