Philips monitor - CM8833 (not II) RGB pinouts?Anyone know the pinouts for the Philips CM8833 monitor? I can only find the CM8833-II pinouts on the Web, which uses a different kind of connector - …
Bright? I don't think any display system uses a 'bright' pin - as far as I recall there is no Sinclair specific monitor designed for our weird attribute map.
Why would you expect a bright pin? -

The sprites aren't big enough not to look a little lost in the backgrounds - it's going to be most noticeable in the darker areas.
Of course - you could take the "let's make fecking huge colourful but attribute bound sprites" approach. -

No, it is not the same. What I call rainbow processing is this:
You synchronize the CPU with the video, and then switch rapidly the color attributes for the 8x8 cells, resulting in selectig a new attribute for each 8x1 cell. -
