Abstract: In the past, the ubiquity of the cathode ray tube (CRT) display meant that it was reasonably easy to visually evaluate the color of images for public broadcast or viewing. With the advent of the latest display technologies, consumers are viewing an array of display types other than CRT, including liquid crystal display (both cold-cathode fluorescent lamp and light-emitting diode backlit), plasma, and recently organic light-emitting diode. Although high-definition television has gone a long way toward unifying broadcast standards worldwide under the BT.709-5 standard from the International Telecommunications Union Recommendations Section, studios are clinging to their remaining CRT broadcast monitors as references for how their images look to the average consumer. Is this still a valid way to work? Should we be sticking to CRT devices as our reference, is it time for a new reference, or is the whole concept of a color reference display no longer valid?
