Not this bad - my AH QL had a nice clear picture (despite the variety of
ropey TVs it was used on, including two ancient B/W jobs picked up for �1
each at a boot sale); I didn't get a monitor for it until about 1991 or 2,
and a colour monitor a few years later (picked up from a QL show in Chester
- I *think* I bought it off Dilywn's stand...).
This one is very flakey, with washed out colours and lots of interference.
OTOH, it may be because the QL is surrounded by CBM PETs... :)

I've seen that in the QL I mentioned earlier. Incidentally, that one has a
better TV picture than this new one too...
Cheers!
Ade.
