The color mode on this board is pretty darn good even on a large LCD TV.
The B&W mode is super clear on the same TV.

I added a couple of pics of the output on a 46” LCD TV.
Of course on a CRT it’s perfect, But this pretty darn good for composite on a big LCD.

Not the best pics, but gives you an idea.
