It is recommended to add V subcarrier phase adjustment option #1

Based on my extensive observations, many CRT TVs seem to offset the phase of the V subcarrier when demodulating NTSC composite signals, thereby distorting the hues of yellow and blue. This makes yellow lean toward orange, thereby reducing the skin color deviation between NTSC1987 and 1953 sources. Incidentally, blue leans toward cyan, which makes the sky look better. This corresponds to $x2 being bluer and $x8 being yellower on TV, compared to on a monitor.

i will add this but only on the basis that monitors adjust the UV subcarriers separately; i think "colors look better" is quite subjective of a claim.
