If you have a modern day LCD with composite video it might be worth checking. In the last 15years or so composite video has been updated to support a lot more than the old days. If there is any colour there may be a chance it will work on a modern screen.
I don't know what has been changed but what I know Composite Video Interlaced screen modes have started to show up such as the Super Retrocade. Older TV's tend to show it in black and white, so it could be a 60hz NTSC thing. I have an old screen sat around that won't show the ZX Spectrum Vega in colour yet all others do. But yeah if there is a chance your machine is not 50hz PAL then a modern screen has a better chance of showing it in colour - that's if colour is being sent down the cable.
One last thought. If you have a composite video scart adapter also try the scart ports - as a just in case.
