A Question about PAL television sets

[ceebee23]

Many sets sold here in Australia for the past decade, both LCD and CRT have had the ability to handle NTSC through line in (rarely via RF)... and consequently often have "tint" controls but almost always available via remote controls using onscreen displays and the tint/hue control is unavailable during PAL playback.

Often when playing back NTSC DVDs or tapes it is necessary to change black level because of differences between PAL and NTSC.

Ironically now my BluRay player does a little upscale from 480i to 720p for most material and adjusts the black level/color space... it all seems so strange somehow I prefer the original 480i ...

Some early PAL sets had "tint" controls which really were just red/blue color balance not true phase adjustments.
