pepeart Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I bought a colecovision with composite video mod but the colors are very light. I have to turn the color setting all the way up on my tv. Im using a crt tv. I asked the seller and he said that he never noticed it. Any ideas? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChildOfCv Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 It's difficult to know without seeing the mod itself. Does the RF out still work? Does it look any better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepeart Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 Yes, the rf still works and colors are brighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 It is one of the issues I used to run into with the older composite only kits. They tend to vary on the quality of their output between different TVs and displays. It was this lack of consistency that has made me decide to just use @the_crayon_king's RGB boards going forward. Even if all that is requested is just composite, the cost difference isn't that much more and I prefer to know that the output will look good regardless of the display being used.

I think you mean that little RGB to Composite/S-Video board? I am making RGB for the Coleco but only after I get the Bally RGB thing working.

Actually most of the composite kits I've used on the CV are pretty consistent although I'm currently using the small SMD boards that Console5 sold for a bit as I bought some a while back and assembled them. Thank you for keeping me in my lane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the composite through the Intelli kit is cleaner than through native if only because of sync correction. For me it is worth it to have two pallets to decide between. As for this coleco I would suspect that either Luma is too high or Chroma is too low on this composite mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
