I got my Pi zero in and immediately wanted to play. I soldered wires to the video out and ground to a composite plug, plug it into a car monitor (powered seperately), put in a correctly formatted micro sd card and power on! Only to get a skewed and fuzzy image.

Things I've done to troubleshoot:

Resoldered connections (22 gauge wire)
Tested that the ground ohms out to the ground connection above it (on the Pi zero)
Tested the car monitor with a PI 1 and it works fine (tested on same inputs)
Tested on both video inputs (through a plug and direct connection)
Going to try hdmi today when cable comes in.

Did I miss anything? Ideas on a resolution?

This link might help you to configure the screen

You can probably use putty or another ssh software to connect to a pc if you have a hard time reading the text

I'll give that a try, but I have a feeling it is something more serious. Especially since the screen works perfectly with a Pi 1. Photo attached.

Do you have a picture of your soldering?

Here you go. And yes I know that I'm using the ground above the marked "TV" spot. I tried both; the ground above and the ground next to the "TV" spot - same result.

And - I'm a novice at soldering. Be gentle.

It was my soldering.

a lot of ppl have been over soldering and having issues dont worry about it just use a little bit of solder, as long as the wire is attached your good also a little bit of hot glue over the top helps just be sure to test it first before using hot glue
