Screen Colours wrong

[dance21]

Hi I've just purchased a CPC 464 as I used to covet them in my childhood would go a play on them at my Local Boots where my mum worked the problem I have when I turn the computer on the text is in yellow which I know is right but the background is black? If I use the basic command border 1 it stays black but if I type border 2 its look like the right shade of blue any ideas?

Hi and welcome Dance21,
          Do any reds display properly?

The brightness is set too low. Turn the knob on the right side of the monitor.

I used to program with the lowest possible brightness when I was a kid, the bright yellow against even brighter blue was killing me  . I also disliked the font, so, at some point, I made a custom one and I chose a different ink and paper color to work in Basic (in think that was grey and black).  Maybe the owner of that screen was doing the same as me before I changed the Basic a little bit

I feel a bit special the brightness was to low    all fixed now

enjoy the cpc!!!!

(if the screen rolls there is a v-hold dial on the back you can turn to stabalise it).

We're all a bit special here, otherwise we wouldn't still be messing about with 80's computers.
