Most hires displays look better on a composite color monitor, such as the
Amdek Color-1, than they do on the GS's RGB monitor. The difference is even
more striking for double-hires displays. (King's Quest and Air Heart look much
better on a Color-1 connected to a IIc+ than on an RGB monitor connected to the
GS.)
What's wrong is that the GS's display circuits do just a passable job of
translating hires and double-hires into RGB form.
