  The original standard forcolor television was also acompromise.  The

developers had to fit the information for color pixels in between
the black and white information so that everyone wouldn't have to buy 
new TVs and they admitted at the time that this would cause 
decrease in the picture quality.  At the time, no one cared.  
They just wanted color television.
  I also would rather have a slight decrease in picture quality
to allow for compatibility with the old system, but not TOO much 
of a decrease :-).
