I have read that; I have seen the same. I am 74, so I just "Might" have been around when color was the new thing. EVERY store that sold early color sets had a special room in which the color sets were located. It had a door and the light was rather low in that room.
It is absolutely correct that our early color sets will not have the brightness of a Plasma set. I still have an RCA CTC-9C in queue. I have gotten a raster after rebuilding the power supply but have more to come. I replaced the CRT with a good used 21CYP22A and have a good bright raster.
