What's the console or computer with graphics you find more difficult to look at?

BTW: CGA in Europe looks completely different compared to GGA in USA. That's a huge difference. Therefore it would be desirable to mention the continent.

@GUNHED - Really? What do you mean?

So it turns out it was a myth... People playing CGA games when they were released had to endure the trauma of pinks an cyans, and these games were not designed for B&W at all. Oh well.

It's ironic a malfunction in their monitors which turned them into b&w would have made them look much better... I wonder if this could be set up manually from the "Color" wheel in these monitors?

CGA is equally ugly on all continents as long as RGBi monitors are used. 

The exception for this is that the early CGA cards have a composite output that on a NTSC monitor (TV set) will create artifact colours. 

Although this was part of the definition by IBM this only works over the Composite signal and not the RGBi signal that was typically used on professional monitors. I would expect that rarely someone connected his IBM to a TV set, so I'm not sure if a lot of people ever discovered the colourful side of CGA. 

The 8bit guy has covered this some time ago here: 
(and then after 5:35 he shows the artifact colour mode)

And looking at this I would say that CGA in composite mode is still ugly - just a different kind of ugly.

Just cut off Blue and look better.

I found the source.

BTW, what do you mean by cutting off blue?

Selecting the Red, Green, Yellow and Black palette instead...

I never saw CGA on anything other than an RGB monitor so to me that was just how IBM PCs looked at that time. Unsurprisingly I was far more interested in the Amiga.

I'm afraid I can't stomach watching the 8 Bit Guy after I saw how he thinks it's funny to intimidate people by walking around town with all his guns strapped on. Not wishing to get political about his second amendment rights (apparently the only part of the US constitution which is non-negotiable?), but he was such an obnoxious creep about it I blocked his channel.

@cwpab & @roccfg -
CGA cards can be switched to this alternative, more pleasant palette programmatically, but only 20% of games do this, or maybe less. If someone knows how, they can modify game to switch to this, sometimes you can also use a program in the background that will force it, but it is easier to make a switch on the RGBI cable that disconnects B.

And this "red" color in CGA looks more like color 7 in CPC palette, not 6. That is, if you connect the computer to a real monitor with an RGBI input, because if you make a simplified cable for a monitor or TV with an RGB input, it will look like 6, but that wasn't the intention of designers of CGA card and monitors. Similarly with color dark yellow in 16-color mode. On RGB it looks similar like on ZX Spectrum, but on original RGBI it looks more like dark orange.
