6Actually, after trying out six TVs bought in the UK within the past 5 years, only one will handle pure NTSC (i.e. NTSC 3.58). The others will only give a colour picture with NTSC 4.43 or PAL-60. Although, this is not normally an issue because RGB SCART is the most commonly used connection (the colour information is kept seperate and never sees a PAL or NTSC encoder).
Sorry Moth3r, just a quick addendem: I've just checked and all the new TVs I've been in contact with in the last EIGHT years DID have NTSC 3.58 playback (although this is only about 4
). In fact I was reading up on the NTSC 4.43/PAL-60 issue, and people have said how they've found more PAL TV's compatible with NTSC 3.58 than with the other "bodged" non-standards... Of course that's just circumstantial "evidence" so it doesn't mean anything.Considering my old Sony KV32FX60 (which was made in Sept 1999!) handles it perfectly, I would have thought all semi-decent make TVs would by now!
Anyways, this is a moot point, as you've already pointed out that YUV and RGB separate the colour signals.
