For those who might be interested, a freshly-minted YouTube video this
time on another bastion of British retro-computing, my iconic
ZX-Spectrum.

Hi Everybody,
For what it is worth, I recently got a Spectrum myself. I was able to
modify it by opening the RF modulator can, disconnecting the output
coupling cap from the RCA rf socket, and then linking the input to the
modulator to the output connector directly.
Now, it outputs beautiful video directly to my TV, without any of the
annoying RF nonsense. And it can be trivially reverted back if necessary.

Good one Doug. I think this is the same modification mine has.

Does this mod works with LCD monitors (with composite input)? Sometimes
the video signal isn't 100% what the LCD expects and it varies the bright of
image. Vide

Neither can I, All I can say is that it works with the multifunction TV
that is on the wall in my workshop. It accepts Antenna (TV), HDMI,
Composite, S-VIDEO and VGA.

I can't answer that. My LCD monitor doesn't have composite input.
