My experience indicates that the old sets just keep looking better and better as transmission methods improved.
My first look at a color set was in late '56 or early '57... color looked "oooh and ahhh", B&W not so much... Many years later, I became the repairman for that set (my Uncle's set) and set it straight... It was an old CTC-5 with doors... "The Chandler" if I recall... the deluxe chassis... what a playin' fool!!! That set just kept looking better and better thru the years as the camera/transmitting technology improved. The old sets had the ability, but not the quality signal... just my opinion... View some of the old shows today, and the color is outstanding... most likely because they went out of their way to make it as colorful as possible. Bonanza, Lawrence Welk, Hawaii 5 O and more.
I'm still tickled when I see an old set performing well!!!
