Also seems to me, only by looking at the picture in question, that R5 is a sort of compromise between R3 and R4. Now, has anyone on the list a chance to test this in practice and say (very subjectively of course) which "looks best in real life applications"? In my machine (yep the very same from the beginning) I have R3, which is a replacement for what was originally installed there in 1985 and it seems like this luminance picture might be a good explanation to why I seem to be somewhat disappointed with the colours I receive from the machine: too light and somewhat off-tint/saturation when compared to my very volatile memory content of the original look I had back in the days. > > Could someone test it and post results like own comments and maybe links to photos (taken with manual White Balance!) of various VIC's outputs? > > What I would imagine on photos would be: > > - (in)famous startup screen with blue on blue > - colour bars > - a well-known demo ? > - ? If you want to only see the luminance levels, here's a picture: http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/documents/chipdata/656x-luminances.gif Too bad it doesn't include anything about the 8565R2. Especially since it is possible to use it instead of a 6569 with only minimal modifications (none to the board) on the older boards.
