LCD TV display shows pink flickering screen when using DVI > RGB cable
Hello,
Recently I bought a DVI-I to RGB cable in the hopes of connecting my computer to an old LCD TV that only has a component input avaliable. My computer only has DVI, VGA and HDMI. When I connect them, I get a pink, green, static with wavy lines.
When I have my regular monitor connected (through VGA) to my computer, AND the TV connected to the computer, I attempt to connect to an external display and a similar thing happens. If I choose duplicate, or extend, and select some certain resolutions, I get a pink tinted, looping display on my TV which shows My WALLPAPER but very staticky. It doesn't show my screen, windows, icons and all. This leads me to think that connecting them is possible, I'm just not doing something right.
My graphics card is a NVidia GeForce GT 220. When I try to connect to the TV with the NVidia control panel, (cloning or w/e), it detects the TV but nothing shows up on the TV. Not even that pink static.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

In order to connect your laptop to your TV using RGB, you need an RGB adapter. RGB is also known as component video; it breaks up a video signal into red, green and blue. laptops do not have RGB outputs. However, many laptops have VGA, DVI or HDMI outputs. An RGB adapter connects the single VGA, DVI, or HDMI cable to an RGB cable, which is actually three different cables tied together.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Connect either the VGA, DVI or HDMI (in the order of increasing video quality) cable to the VGA, DVI or HDMI port on your laptop, depending on what is available.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the side of the RGB adapter with the single input.
3. Connect the RGB cables to the red, green and blue ports on the other side of the RGB adapter.
4. Connect the other end of the RGB cables to an available component input on the back of the TV.
5. Tune the TV to the component video input you used through your television's menu.
6. Turn on your laptop. The laptop should now display on your TV screen.
try a regular video input on the tv and on another tv, and if that pink is on both tv's then its the dvd but if it only does it to that tv your hooking it up to then there is a problem with the tv video input
The cable u are using it is the S-video cable?Yes,this cable dosen't support audio.Must used a RCA component cable like R,W cable connected between the tv and the DVD player to get sound.
LCD Monitors having multiple inputs have option and option to select and switch between the displays from analog (VGA) or Digital (DVI) inputs. Go to the LCD menu and select input source (DVI)
Hello
VGA [Video Graphics Arrey] and RGB [Red-Green-Blue] sockets are not compactable, and will not get a proper display. You must have a converter [VGA=>RGB] is needed in between. Ok
sounds like the computer is thinking you are output on the rgb cable an you connect a rgb to the computer also and then see if you can switch them in the display settings.
If it is, then yeah you should be able to output VGA from a PC to the TV with a proper cable.
However if the TV has DVI or HDMI connections on it, it's better for
you to connect it that way. DVI/HDMI is a digital signal and if it's a
digital-based display tech TV, then you're better off using that. Also
if the TV does resolution above 1360x768 (i.e. if it does 1080p) you
can get higher resolution by going via DVI/HDMI...
