If they ever saw the video from a TK-46 with a set of new Plumbicons on
a $7,000 studio monitor, they would shoot their digital TVs.

Well, yes. But take that same camera outdoors where you haven't got full
control over the lighting... Oh - and what were the pictures like at
switch on, before an hours worth of line-up?

Luckily, modern cameras are far more suited to use outside of a studio.

Other thing is control room monitors (Grade 1) are designed for close
viewing, so generally in the smaller sizes. Nor have I ever seen a
widescreen CRT with decent geometry and registration. Control room CRTs
even for widescreen were still 4:3, but underscanned, making the small
size even more of an issue.
