I'm with you on the poor design of many
early, and even later, color TVs. I also constructed an early Heathkit that
produced an image equal to most expensive studio color monitors.

I have worked as a broadcast engineer at both the local and network level since 1967, and I am familiar with
the quality of pictures a studio monitor can produce.

In 1984, I had the opportunity to take a technical tour of BBC Television Center in Shepherd's Bush and while in London for the week, watch a bit of British TV. All I could think of was that their consumer TV sets, tuned to over the air broadcasts, produced better looking pictures overall than the NTSC studio monitors I was used to watching at work.
