Added factors on late 50s and early 60's color sets were:
- Lousy regulation, leading to horrible blooming if you tried turning the brightness up too high, or picture might look fine on a brightness setting, then boom, real bright scene comes on and blooms like crazy and you have to crank it down a little.
- not the best retrace line suppression, compared to modern sets where it's unheard of to see retrace lines no matter the setting.
So even if a tube back then was capable of being brighter, you couldn't just crank it up without running into consequences due to limitations of the chassis, separate from the crt itself...Frenchy
