In the 1970s, GE devised a method to automatically correct
luminance and chroma imbalances occurring in the broadcast
chain between studio, transmitter, and consumer receiver:

For whatever reason, by the mid-1990s, the system fell out
of favor, and consumers were once again left to their own resources
as to where their TV picture adjustments should be set.
Considering how modern digital TVs appear as shipped from
manufacturers, and considering just how high a level of
inaccuracy the viewing public are presently unwittingly willing to endure,
could such an "automatic calibration" system, similar to VIR
above, be implemented today?
