Black and White display

Hello all.

I have been integrating a Raspberry Pi 3B into a small portable black and white CRT TV and I'm wondering if its possible to set the display to output monochrome instead of color?

Assuming you're using the composite video on the trrs jack, have a look at https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... t/video.md
Setting sdtv_disable_colourburst to 1 disables colourburst on composite video output. The picture will be displayed in monochrome, but it may appear sharper.
