No, I think I'll abandon that theory.

Why does the controller get things wrong so badly?

hmmn`

well, in it's defense I think it's largely down to the fact that you only have 256x80 and a 1cm pitch. it then tries to render finely detailed works where 25 pixels on the image is rendered by something like 3 on the screen.

That doesn't account for what it did to Bob's 256x80 image.

That image was already 256x80 in the first place.

hmm

you may be right. I think it must come down to the previously noted inability of the controllers to accurately pin down variable brightnes between 0 and 255. Coupled with viewing angle and distance.

Does nyan cat work fine on the real screen, or do some of the values also turn out wrong?

Can I see it?
Or how about this version of the monkey animation:

I removed everything that isn't in the red channel. So now it's 8-bit, right?

I made some changes to the contollers settings and am getting much much better results, this is how the monkey gif now renders:
