PC to TV connection

Post by Thom »

I bought a PC to TV connection and it works well but theres one major problem. The picture displayed on the screen is in black and white!

I've tried alot of things but to no difference. The connection contains a composite connection a sound input and scart plug in which it all goes into the television.

The problems really starting to fustrate me and any solutions would be greatly welcomed!

Thanks alot guys, Thom

what OS and Version ?

What type of video card ? Are you using the right drivers ?

Are you trying to display the TV on your computer monitor or the computer output on your TV ?

Do you have S-Video out on your laptop?
Does your TV have S-Video in?

If so, just get a massively long S-Video Cable and your done!

(If you dont have svideo on your video card, and your tv doesnt have svideo, it might be time to upgrade...)
