@sinbad yep! Now a days in my retro hw I avoid RF. Composite or RGB (SCART) for best results.

There's a lot of conversation, on and off, on how CRTs looked and how the pixel artists drew the graphics so they looked in a special way on a CRT TV; but I don't see people mentioning the systems that used *RF* to get the video signal to the TV.

That was the worst, although evidently I didn't care when I was playing games in my ZX Spectrum. We used imagination a lot back then!
