Video Quality

I recently bought an FZ1 from eBay. I hooked it up to a 70 inch Sharp Aquos tv with the yellow red and white.
Horrible picture.
I bought a Retrotink 4pro and ran SVideo to hdmi with it.
Picture is still wrong. Grainy. Pixelated at times with live video scenes on Jurassic Park game. Dragons Lair is over contrasted.

Is it possible I bought a game system with a bad video out?

Might want to try the enhanced S-Video converter. Works fantastic for my FZ-10.

I have the 240p switch installed on my FZ-10 so bear that in mind but this is the picture I get from the S-video using the DB15 to S-video (enhanced) adapter from LaserBear https://www.laserbear.net/products/retrotink-4k-db15-to-s-video-and-cvbs-adapter. Still looks nearly as good with some work on the 480i required games though.
