Screen for Raspberry Pi Project.

Hi, Im building a Gameboy zero (raspberry pi powered Retropie console).

 

I ran into an issue with the screen I'm using, wondering if anybody else has had the same issue. 

 

The colours are washed out to the point of the screen being almost totally white. 

 

It's a backup camera screen for a car from eBay. Lots of projects have used them, wondering if there's anything I can do to fix mine. 

 

Thank you.

all i can think off is in OS collor corection/balance if there is something like that

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Was it like that from the start or did it get worse?
I guess its defective and would return it if possible.

i only see one as well.

 

this is by no means my area of expertise, but i've watched plenty of videos where screen display issues like yours was resolved by adjusting the pot.

 

So i'd give it a try but go slowly. If it works then great and if not then you are back to square uno.
