A1200 color question

[hamtronix]

My A1200 plugged from the color composite out into a small LCD looks almost washed out on the WorkBench screen but when I load a game it looks fine.

Anyone have any info on why this would occur or any settings I could adjust to help reduce this washed out look?

How many colours are you running Workbench in? If lots, try reducing the number of bitplanes. A lot of games don't really use many colours.

The bog standard workbench 3.1. Looks like crap. I put in Populous and it looked like a good ol' Amiga again... Maybe I should go back to 1.3 color scheme?

The reason is that you use composite output. You get a huge increase in quality with rgb/scart. It is impossible to get good quality picture with composite.

I was thinking as such. I just got a converter and thought my NEC could sync down but I get nothing on it.
