I recently picked up a MX7000 SW version 4.5 + BEO4 remote with the intent on watching VHS and playing retro games with our daughter.

I've been setting it up and while I have a perfect picture setup in the service menu and normal picture menu, as soon as I exit the menu, the display settings return to what was set before.

I don't see any changes relative to the settings I made, I could set colour to 0 and see greyscale in the menu, it will revert to (slightly over saturated) colour outside of the menu. The look does not change no matter what I do.

Config is as follows:

LG RCT 689H VCR combo hooked up to AV2. AV2 socket set to decoder. Tuned a channel with the decoder on and stored it.

Here is a video, it is not the best quality but it shows the difference in settings between the settings menu on normal TV.

/edit: I think I fixed it! Here it is mentioned that when using RGB display settings do not apply

"Colour adjustment will have no effect if you're using RGB." (https://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?p=956819&sid=ab6ad0c587896fe52186fded7275796c#p956819).

So I checked the settings of the LG and changed it from RGB to YPbPr. This does not make sense to me because I was under the impression that YPbPr was not supported on the MX7000. Eitherway, I'm happy!

Answered. See OP, short version:
