PAL monitor controls?

Commodore's NTSC monitors, if I remember correctly, had a Color knob on them just as many televisions did, and by dialing all the way down one could view the video signal in black and white. Is there an equivalent control on PAL displays?

Yes, my PAL 1084s has a 'color' control.  Another name for the control would be 'saturation'.

If you're after monochrome composite video output then it's directly available on both the VIC and VDC output connectors.

Do commodore NTSC monitors have a 'hue' control?

Thank you. Indeed, saturation is a better name for it. The other main controls on NTSC are brightness and tint. I think turning one direction pushes the picture toward magenta, and the other direction goes toward yellow.

Yep, I know there's the composite option, but it was still bugging me that I didn't know what controls are available on PAL.
