Recapped A600 motherboard with distorted/blurry RGB video

I made some comprison screenshots a while back. Those are all from an actual Amiga, not emulation or any kind of simulated picture.

I don't think there is necessarily anything wrong with your machine, composite just is what it is. If at all possible, use RGB

Wow, thanks for screenshot, outstanding (and superb choice for a game ! I would've said that it's "just composite" unless I would not have seen personally that for a while image over composite was crisp for a while.

But you are right, I am going to to use RGB anyways. I just got DB23 connector and I'm waiting for VGA-RJ45 adapter and female RJ45 connector. I was planning to run VGA over CAT6, not sure if the cable is optimal for that but surely it should work. There's not enough twisted pairs for every signal and corresponding ground so I need to run VSYNC and HSYNC on one twisted pair and use ground from some color component for sync ground (thats the way VGA-RJ45 adapter is wired anyways)...

Edit: Actually there are enough twisted pairs if I would use composite sync? AFAIK Amiga outputs composite sync and if my video projector supports then that's enough? 4 twisted pairs, one for R, G, B and one for CSYNC?
