The following are my experience. It is worth pointing out that all the equipment has aged and that I may not be using the most optimal cables and compatible display.
On a modern flat screen LCD television the image quality from the Videomaster is worse than the SCART cables you can buy and worse than a native green screen or colour monitor. (This is using a composite to SCART cable).
I believe the problems I am seeing are down to the higher R,G,B voltage output from the Videomaster and using a composite to SCART.
Unfortunately I am unable to compare this with Amstrad's modulator. I will try the Videomaster with  On a composite cable (if I can find one) and on an older Sony Trinitron 14" CRT televisionthe image is better. There is less ghosting and the image is brighter. Mode 2 is still hard to read, mode 1 is fine, mode 0 is fine. If I set mode 2, set the background to black and the text to grey I see multicolours moving through the text. The television accepts shorter hsync lengths, but at 4, the image changes colour. Restoring the hsync length doesn't work and I need to power the computer on/off.
NOTE: The video master has adjustable variable resistors which may improve this. I will get some more technical help.
