seldom saw accurate color on their screens.
It's also easy to forget that that was becasue, after about
1959 or 60, the TV sets, not the transmissions. I got a
color TV in 1962. It gave beautiful colors and quite
reliably so. You only had to tweek the hue control rarely.
OF course, it was a Heathkit and was a no-holds-barred
plenty of tubes design. It also had a correct, linear,
color matrix. Many sets had matrices that very strongly
rejected the Q axis (green-magenta) so everything was
gray, blue, or orange. THIS was the main problem with
US TV until well into the transistor era.
