when I am looking at the photos of the CT100 on the same Dell monitor,
the images on the monitor look exactly like the CT100. Thus,
the comparison on YOUR computer is also exactly the same difference
between the original and the CT100.

I post images of the same Dorothy scene. These are made with the same camera. This is a dvd, not a Blu-ray. It is output as NTSC and
modulated on a B-T agile modulator. Both sets look at NTSC
true VSB, cut off at 4.2 MHz an -1.25 MHz.

The sharp one is my Sony Bravia 45 inch LCD and the other two
are the CT100. The camera and processing was set for
no sharpening, no noise reduction, no contrast enhancement,
and 5250K. The camera was defocused to smear out the dot structure.
They were 1/6 second exposures, the f-number was set to compensate for
brightness difference. One CT100 image was changed
in one way: the color temp slider in Photoshop was moved to 4850K.
This makes it look bluer. This is probably a better representation of a by eye comparison; apparently the camera, set for non-auto color temp, is being fooled by phosphor differences.

To give you my perspective, I am viewing your images on an iPad Air with 2048x1536 resolution, 108% sRGB/Rec.709 color gamut, just slightly blue white at 7041 K. (6500K the standard)

Comments: Image on left looks too blue, looks like 9500 to 11000 K. I see image processing going on in the background.

Image in the center looks the most satisfying, well saturated, but slightly warm.

Image on the right looks like you added a blue filter.

Why did you not set the camera to auto exposure and why did you defocus? I think you would have a truer representation of the images. Yes, the pixel structure would be noticeable on the CRT. Don't we want to see the brightness differences?

May I ask the age of the Sony and was it calibrated to Rec.709? Was your CT-100 calibrated?

Thank you for posting the images, very nice set and images.
