Or even standard definition program for that matter. I'd even pick my 51" crt-based projection set over the roundies if it comes to what I would want to watch a couple of hours of tv on a night, sorry. (And at least it still has real picture tubes in it! : ) I mean it's just like my Victrola, I love that thing too and it's really cool playing my acoustic records on it all day but I'm not going to say it sounds better than my hi-fi with 5.1 sound. But I use the Victrola a ton more than my tvs since I don't have to worry about frying a flyback ; ) ..Frenchy

I think you are comparing apples to oranges here.
NTSC monitors and TVs can display only so much picture information. Plasma displays are higher resolution with better contrast, but they can display more picture information than a NTSC set. Compare a really nice NTSC set of today to a roundie. There shouldn't be much difference.
And don't most color roundies contain a 3.59MHz crystal in their chroma oscillators? My Felton with a CTC9 chassis does. I know it's not much of a difference from NTSC's 3.58MHz, but maybe that could limit color reproduction, I really don't know. Can I replace the 3.59MHz crystal in my CTC9 with a 3.58MHz HC49/U crystal? Will that give me better color or is it just a waste of my time?
