Connecting computer to tv --> black and white screen

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 16:40

Hope someone can help me, I am trying resolume and I bought a supervideo to scart cable to connect resolume to my tv.
Now the screen on my tv is black and white and sometimes gives a little bit of color, while the output is supposed to be full color.
the videocard that I am using is a Radeon 9800 pro, the advise of radeon is that supervideo gives est quality. The cable from super video to scart that I bought is 10 meters long, Can it be that the cable is too long or might there be another problem?

It's maybe the cable.

Or just you're TV-settings. You can choose YUV and RGB signal for you're S-video/scart. Just walk you're TV-In channels.

I used to have the same problem.
It can be one of these:
1- Your tv is pal and your laptop is ntsc. In this case you'll need an other tv or you can buy a pal/ntsc conversor
2- The cable. Cheap cables really donÂ´t work and give a B&W image

Also - the standard S-Video cables won't work with some ATI cards, you need to use the special S-Video + composite cable that came with the card.
