NTSC = never twice the same colour.

Apparently only to someone who has had their brain fried by the 50 Hz

It has been accepted by many, that NTSC has given *better* color than
PAL ever since solid state electronics have made phase response stable
in the early 1970's.

And how do you justify that statement ?
