A Survey of Home Color Television Receivers: Correlated Color Temperature, Brightness, Ambient Light

K. G. Lisk

The aim of the color television broadcaster is to provide the viewer with a pleasing picture; however, he has no control over the adjustment of the receiver. To study this important point, a survey was made of the adjustment of thirty home receivers. Brightness range, correlated color temperature of a neutral field and ambient lighting conditions were measured. It was found that the neutral field ranged from 9,000 to 15,000 K on the green side of the daylight locus. Highlight brightness averaged about 17 fL and ambient light reflected from the picture tube about 0.9 fL.
