Hi Chuck,
NTSC ... Never The Same Color

Yup. That was driven home to me in a big way years ago, when a friend
from the UK sent me a VHS PAL player and a bunch of
tapes. I built a
PAL-to-RGB decoder and ran them into a decent monitor. Even with
this
lashup, I was impressed with the color quality and the absolute lack of
the need for twiddling controls to get a decent rendition.
But even today with DTV, if I walk into a big-box store and look at the
"wall of TVs" offered for sale, the color differences between models is
quite startling. One would assume that such things as color rendition
would be standardized today, but it seems not to be the case.
