If you think black levels were bad in NTSC, in the early days of HD, syndicated programs came in as a data file. They often had screwed up color phase, black levels, etc. And since everything was digital there was no way to correct it at the station. EVEN audio phasing (L-R) was often out of phase.

Even today, within same streaming platform, is possible to see some series having elevated black level for entire episodes/season, or during some scenes (some can be intended for clarity, but some seems having too much error at all).
