Sort of. The smoothness of a monochrome image is exactly the same as you are still seeing the same 60 fields per second. On a color image, say a red ball, you only see the image once every 3 fields causing flicker and jerkier motion. Also, because of the 20 color fields/sec, there is always color fringing or breakup. For instance, as a white ball moves across the screen you will see a separate red, blue and green ball, all displaced from each other moving across the screen.
This is not to say a Col-R-Tel cannot produce a very good, perfectly watchable image as shown by Steve in the prior thread.
