682.0. "Color from RF-Out vs. Video-Out" by BRAT::SMITH (Never say never, I always say.) Wed Oct 16 1991 09:25

	When I use the RF Out of my Nintendo (to the RF In on my Monitor)
	the colors look fine, but if I use the Video Out (to the Video In
	on my TV/Monitor) the colors look pale and washed-out (especially
	the reds).  The colors from my SNES and Genesis look fine using
	the Video connections.  Has anyone else experienced this and/or
	have any ideas about it?  Is my NES semi-defective, or does it
	just work this way?  Thanks.

  Re: .0

  I use the Video Out connection on my NES and I don't have any problem with
  the color.  

  My monitor serves double duty with both the NES and as CGA monitor for my PC.
  When I switch between the PC and the NES I have to play with the brightness
  but other than that it's okay.

  I assume you've played with the brightness, contrast and color controls on 
  your monitor?

    I recall reading in the instruction manual that if your TV/monitor has
    an "Auto Color" function, you should turn it off when using the NES. 
    It didn't differentiate between the RF and Video ports, however.
    
    I also haven't really noticed a difference between the two.
