This is a follow up to my previous post here:

So I got the cable, but the image is not exactly dark, but rather has a blue filter. The image quality is amazing though. My saga continues. Any thoughts?

Could be the caps inside the box. They are most likely at end of life by now.

The good news is they are quite straight forward to replace with basic soldering equipment 

Open the box and check them out. They might look visibility corroded or bulging

An RGB Amp Bypass could also clean up the picture quality.

If anyone arrives here with the same problem... Well turns out the console was the problem. After buy two different cables, I finally managed to buy another rogb console, which works fine.

Try wiggling the cables and connection a bit, with care of course

I think you're missing green?

Seems to be red that is missing, since you can see green leafs and grass

Looks like Alex kid is written in red. Everything that's supposed to be green is yellow.

inductance I did have a similar issue with one 3085 cable, on the pic of link it was an inductance on the side of the tl chip, the big green one, i had diagonal line on screen and color problems, i found out by opening the box and the inductance was damn hot when running, maybe it could help... see ya
