If I didn't make myself clear originally, here is my point.

I collect micro television and roundies. The other day was looking at one of my Sony Trinitron micro color sets receiving an ota HD signal down converted by a digital converter box. Trinitrons always look amazing, but that particular color broadcast looked better on that set then anything I remember seeing in the late 60's and 70's. I thought it must be the higher quality content and hardware in the broadcast chain of today.

Thinking about the color broadcasts, say from 1954 forward to maybe 1957 or 1958, and knowing a little about the old color cameras, videotape, etc. from that era, I can't imagine that those old color broadcasts would look as good as today's much higher quality color content and the higher quality equipment in today's broadcast chain if viewed on the same properly set up color televisions like a CT 100, 21CT55, CTC5 etc.

So I was reflecting back to the mid 50's when I saw my first color broadcast. I was only 9 when I saw the first color broadcast, so the memory is foggy.

I think old tv nut explained the progression of color broadcast equipment well. The old stuff had some problems which improved over time.
