That was true in the first few years here in the States. Sylvania had a big problem right after they introduced the Superset which had a very dark safety glass (looked almost black). That TV did have spectacular blacks though.
By the early 80s, the short life problem went away. My father in law still has the RCA CTC169 ColorTrak 2000 that I sold him in 1992. He uses it every day. That tube is as strong as the day he got it.
