The term blacker than black applies to the horizontal/vertical synch signals so the TV is in line with the transmitter......if properly adjusted brightness and contrast on any old TV, you can witness the vertical synch pulse as that large heavy black band across say the top of the screen when the vert hold control is played with....IF the set was old enough you had a horizontal hold control, and it could demo the horizontal synch pulse.....both of those pulses had a 'blanking threshold' on the trailing edges, that was supposed to be 'black' or no light emission, typically set as it appears gray to most viewers....but the synch signals stood much taller in amplitude so that gave birth to the phrase 'blacker than black'......

"for only $19.95, you can subscribe to 'Gene's random TV facts', get a daily, pointless fact about old TV technology, delivered right to your door/phone/fax/whatever."

"and for an extra fee, we'll translate Gene's gibberish into something you can understand. includes spelling, punctuation, grammar, capitalization, verb tense, and generally making sure it's in English, that's only an extra $10!"

operators are standing by, drop a dime and call them now!
