Still a mystery to me

As a technician and fellow collector I'm amazed at the performance the early color sets were capable of producing. Along with the fact that most of the early color video display good color and were for the most part very stable.

So I pose the question to you, other than the fact that the sets were high maintainence, why did people back in the 50's always complain about color television. Keep in mind I was a kid then and just seeing color television was amazing enough.

I suspect the poor opinion of early color was based upon the fact that most people didn't know how to properly adjust the sets and the fact that the sets alone did require a lot more service and maintainence in order to keep them operating correctly.

What are your thoughts?
