Do "roundie" color sets make a better picture than later sets?

I'd grab a quick sandwich and drink, then walk across the street and look at the different color sets on my lunch hour at Boston store.

I also spent a lot of time at Gimbels at Southgate shopping center looking at various color sets. I remember the Maggie's there and quite a few brands of color sets. I think Schuster's had a good display of color sets also.

PS. I have a Boston store advertisement from the Milwaukee Journal dated May, 1967 advertising the RCA color sets. It's on my website.

I didn't know the time line when Boston Store became just a Magnavox dealer.
BTW, what make set, did you buy there?

A 1966 RCA Bremanger 19 inch CTC-19. Was one of the first rectangular sets. Got rid of it decades ago. Two years ago, found the exact same set on EBay. It needs me to install the replacement CRT I got from ETF.
