If a european ever goes to the US or far east he'll posibly go nuts

Not really true, surely?

There is 'something' about NTSC compared with PAL. However, I've never
seen bad colo(u)r on NTSC sets which was not mainly due to poor signal
quality anyway, and where PAL would probably been the same.

These days, don't they transmit the correct colours as a reference in
the vertical interval, and the set uses (or can use) this to correct the
phase errors?

It is a source of great amusement to listen to people dissing one or
the other - NTSC or PAL, or even SECAM.

They all suck very much. Trying to decide which one sucks the most is a
waste of time.
