I addition to what others have said, keep in mind that RGB displays devices
have a larger color space than NTSC devices, mostly becuse of the signal type.
This means that it will be difficult or impossible to get the overall
contrast/chroma on your NTSC that you see on your RGB. Gamma is intended to
compensate for this to some degree, but it's not perfect because the colorspace
just isn't there for NTSC.
A better solution is to get a framebuffer and develop images on your NTSC right
from the get-go. This way you don't suffer from "chroma-shock" during the
conversion.
