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.

Ahh, I think I'm starting to understand how it works. So basically you get the full smooth fluid motion 60 fields/sec monochrome image of the colourcast and you get 20 colour fields/sec overlaying the monochrome image hence those colour problems you've mentioned. I guess it works best when there's slower motion and no motion.
