Yes, that's a very good point!
My Sony Wega TV only accepts RGB on AV1, and S-Video for AV2.
So if somebody is using a fully wired scart cable, and it's still only
displaying in B&W, maybe trying the S-Video output option would
work better? Or of course, connect to AV1, or do what I did, and get a full
RGB scart switcher, and plug everything into that.
