This is true. Modern replacements tend to boost the artefacts, so you have to resort to Lumafix or similar to soften it. Better of sticking with the originals, although I recap them too I've never seen any real benefit considering what it pain it is to do.

I'm guessing it's a passive device but with some of the functionality of Lumafix?

I found that Lumafix adds more value when used with a modern RF modulator replacement such as c0pperdragon's analogue-only board. Video (including artefacts) is *too* sharp otherwise.

Thx. I have a CRT but it's crap on there via RF (no s-video). I also have an S-video cable but I don't think it's got a 300Ohm resistor in the chroma line and so it's not good on my LCD (via a S-video to Scart adapter).

I have a 6569R3 VIC and apparently LumaFix improves that the most. Will try.

there's this C64 lumafix on eBay that has a selector between 6569/8565. Does this selector make a difference compared to the original PCB without it? Opinions? #c64

No lumafix or anything like it. That kind of thing just replaces one problem with another IMHO

Noch sitzt der fette Vic auf der Platine und ahnt nichts böses. Heute wird bisschen gebastelt und ein Lumafix verbaut, danach justieren wir ein bisschen stecken noch ein Ultimate II+ dran und irgendwann wird sogar gespielt heute - komm doch vorbei #twitch #stream #retro #c64 #commodore #lumafix
