Can a CRT using RGB inputs display a greater color palette than NTSC would allow ?
I have a secondary set, a Sony WEGA KV FS20. I got it when everyone tossed out the SD sets for HDTV. This set was built in 2006, (almost last off the production line) and prior to me, sat in the "formal" living room, so was unused when I got it. For a 480 line picture, superb.
I am using this OTA. Until recently, I used a Sony HDD 250 DVR, feeding it component RGB. The Sony DVR died
, and I am now using an older US Digital Box, via a single video cable. I also have a huge Trinitron in an upstairs bedroom, again fed RGB from a Tivo box.
Of course, the downconverted HDTV looks really good, but having gone from RGB to a single video cable, the colors aren't as broad, or as correct.....(we won't discuss dot crawl, and there is no S-VHS input for the smaller set)
Are the Trinitons capable of a greater color scale than old NTSC color if fed by RGB ? My experience would tend to say so, even when I was still able to A/B analog OTA and HD OTA. I couldn't find this answer elsewhere, and it would make sense as via RGB you are feeding the display, and any NTSC legacy would be bypassed. A single Video Cable with chroma and lumina, I think, would still contain the limits of NTSC format.....
Thanks !
