The holiday season became sales pitch for color

[Tom Albrecht]

It does indeed look good when optimally shown from the master tape -- that's a little better than I was accustomed to seeing over a few decades of NTSC viewing of over-the-air signals. Not that it was bad, but it has its resolution limits, particularly for color fidelity of fine details. The human eye can't see this easily from normal viewing distance, but it is most definitely there.
