The A600 outputs colour composite. It was the old A500, without an A520 plugged in, that had a black & white composite output. Your A600 also has a built-in TV modulator to output an RF signal, even blurrier than Composite but it's there in case Composite doesn't work.

I guess you really need yourself an S-Video adapter! I have a few of these, I use them on my A1200, A600 and A500. I use both large CRT TVs as well as LCD TVs with them, and the LCD TVs even remove the flickering from interlaced modes (no need for a flicker-fixer now). You can get S-Video adapters, backup EPROMs, PSU adapters and other handy hardware at http://amigamaniac.com

I have a problem with my A600 and the LCD viewed with composite:
In workbench and some games the colours flash generally when the game is loading (in those who run well) and flash anytime in others. Otherwise the image quality is good enough.
Now I am working in the build of another A600 (slightly different). I will see if the problem remains on this one too.

Some Amiga fan said to me that my problem with the colours using composite must be related to the copper. So, I won't solve the problem if I don't change to RGB. It's a really interesting subject, because it involves programming. Now, I am building another A600 with one more mb of chipram; maybe I could change something if the memory has something to do with the problem.

It has nothing to do with the copper. Any problem with the copper would appear the same on the composite output as it would on the RGB.

But, if the problem concerns to some games and some parts of the games (typically when loading) and always the same way; maybe the hardware isn't the cause.
I don't have big experience in programing, but the copper theory seems to be a good explanation for the problem.

PD: maybe hard disk interference?

a friend of mine had an a600 with apollo accelerator, 68020 I believe that snapped over top of the 68000 and added a bunch of ram and boy that thing really seemed just as fast as my 68030 a1200
A1000, A500, A600, A1200, CDTV, A2000, A4000 Towered, SamFlex 800mhz,
