What I report is what I measured with a 32 megohm resistive (and proper compensation capacitor) scope probe.

Same thing applies to photos: I print some of my photos in a way designed
to be viewed in direct full sunlight. People ooooh and aaaaah about these when displayed properly ... but compain if viewed at "official museum light levels". That needs different (dodge and burn) processing. Such processing is clearly visible in sports programming in modern TV. Look at white parts of uniforms in direct sunlight.

Thanks - measurement trumps theoretical guessing, but my visual impression of CT-100s I have seen is that the restoration is much better than the 85% of later sets. On the other hand, I may not have been looking at a good selection of source material for this.

Comparison of monitor images and prints is a constant problem. With the fixed monitor calibration I use, prints can look too dark in dim room light and too bright in the competition viewing booth, so I do have to process differently. Monitors have been introduced that compensate for room brightness according to some psychophysical model - we'll have to see how well that works as time goes by.
