Color problem after warm up.

The menus always look correct. Video images from composite or VGA connection look good for the first few minutes then rapidly decay. First there is a quantizing of shades. (it looks like computer screen in 16 color mode - there are "relief map" like gradations on the image.) Then eventually, after 3 or 4 minutes, the image loses most color info. It looks like a tv with the color turned low and the tint all mixed up. Faces are purple, most of the image is monochromatic. The lamp has only 475 hours on it. It worked fine for months then the "relief map thing" slowly appeared. At first I thought it was a bad video signal, but then it got increasingly worse. Any info would be appreciated.

    Thanks. My problem is very similar to this color-problem. Two months ago the problem appeared after ten mimutes. (Because of warming.) Today the colors are bad everytime. (Green, gray without red.) What can I do? Do you think I have to go in the HP Service station? I think it would be very expencive. What do you think how much many worth to repair it? OK, it depend on the type of
    the porbolem. (board, wheel sensor etc.) And what does it mean exactly the formatted board? Thaks.

The probelm is caused by either a bad color wheel sensor, color wheel or formatter board. I have the new redesigned sensor assembly and color wheels that I can sell. It is best if you send me the projector for proper diagnosis.

Hello there! My Toshiba TDP-SP1 "PROJECTOR" has a yellow tint only in Computer mode, VGA cable.I changed the VGA cable, but no fix the problem. In video mode RCA cable, it works good. Thank you!

This happens when the blue channel of the VGA cable doesn't work. This can be by an internal defect or by a defective cable. Since you changed the cable already, its the connector.

Can I connect my laptop to my TV?

Right, well, IF your TV has a DB15 Female Plug on it then you CAN, connect it up and it will work, as a second "Monitor". OR If the laptop, has a "Composite Video" a Yellow RCA socket, then you can, connect to the TV's Composite IN. & it will be a second monitor. Otherwise you cannot, the VGA signal is NOT compatible with a TV's input. SOME cards have a connector that plugs into the DB15 and to the TV, but they are "Special". In saying that though you can "Micky Mouse" things together and get an output, but it real poor quality, and disappointing results, there are various posts on the net about doing this if you wish.
Remember DRIVERS, you also need the drivers installed & setup correctly in order for the hardware to work. As a tip, When connecting to a TV, always connect like this......First, plug all cables into TV's correct Video input(s). Connect up the Sound, plug all cables into laptop, turn TV ON. NOW, start the laptop, you should now soon see the an image.
NOTE: Some laptops & other devices, have HDMI out, sometimes, the AUDIO is not passed through, the HDMI cable, & the Audio must be run from Audio/Line OUT on laptop to AV IN on TV.Also some laptops have a socket that a multi-way 4/5/6/7 pins. A connector plugs into this, you then can connect to these connections, as you would normally. Also we have "Component Video" marked "Y" "Pb" & "Pr" these simply go color to color at BOTH ends, this is where the Red, Green, & Blues, colored Ends, of the Wires, goes, remembering that this is ALL only Video. With this method, you still must use the AV, red & White, Audio, Inputs to get the "Sound" into the unit

Superscan tv

Since you didn't give the model SuperScan TV, I am going to speculate that your TV has composite video input only; like the 19TVD3S that I know. If your laptop has a VGA port, you will need a VGA to composite video converter. See http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=101&cp_id=10114&cs_id=1011407&p_id=4724&seq=1&format=2 . Other stores have similar items. You can't use a VGA to composite video cable; these cables are for connecting to projectors that read the computer's RGB signal.

Other converters are available for VGA to component video. If your laptop has an HDMI output, then a HDMI to component video converter would be a good idea. (A few rare computers came with TV out; then you just need the correct adapter for the port to composite or component video.)
Next you may need to enable the external video output in your BIOS. The port can be disabled for power-saving. In that case, look at the splash screen as your computer boots up. It will tell you (in a brief blink) if you need to press Esc, Del, F1, F2 or another key to access the BIOS. Press the key repeatedly after turning on the computer (after shutting down); if you miss the timing, turn off the computer and try again. I've missed the timing several times.
Once the port is active, make sure that the TV is on and set to the video input. Then turn on the computer. If you have Windows, you will have to choose the screen to use for your display. For most newer versions of Windows, right click on a portion of the desktop (somewhere with no icons or running programs). Select Screen Resolution or a similar line. Then you can select using the monitors as duplicate monitors, extended monitors or Monitor 1 or Monitor 2 only.
I hope this helps.

(If your TV has newer inputs, use the VGA port if available. The HDMI port for many TVs do not always interpret a computer HDMI signal correctly.)

Wii game hooked up to new Sharp LED tv. TV is color and the wii is in black and white.

Usually this is either a cable or a mode issue. First make sure that you have the correct cable connections. (Composite video cable to a component video jack is one possible cause of the problem.) Component video cables are not included with the set but will give better results. However, composite video in from the wii's composite video out should give good results.

If you are using HDMI or component video cables, then go into the Wii video menus to select the correct mode for your tv. Check your TV manual and the Wii setup guide for details on the mode (resolution, etc) you should be using.

If the problem persists, try new video cables and make sure that they are fully seated on both sides. Try switching inputs if you have several available.

I hope this helps.

Polaroid LCD-2000 no VGA input option

A connector plugs into this, you then can connect to these connections, as you would normally.

Connecting this up will be easy. What you do is get a yourself a set of the right, for your setup, cables. That uses EITHER one of the formats, of these described, below. You will need, either, a THREE way Cable, or three separate " Coaxial Cored" Cables with RCA PLUGS on them. ColoredYellow, (Video) Red, & White. (Audio) AV. OR If you have SCARTConnection Sockets, it's a big Black Socket at rear of unit(s), you get aSCART Cable.& It's all inside. Now some units, use a standard calledComponent Video, that uses, a Green, Red, & Blue Plugs. Now, with the Component setup, you will also ,need, Two more Cables, for the AV Audio. these are, Red & White.(So with Component Video there are 5 Cables/Plugs in all). In any event ALL Cables go Color to Color, at each end, plugging into the corresponding Colored RCA Jacks, on either machine, or VCR or TV. Now if you have SCART, then it simply plugs in only one way. It is that simple. So connect up with the leads your set uses, and select the correct "Input" from TV/Remote, it is NOT on a "Channel" it will be on AV, AUX, and Press "Play" on VCR/DVD whatever.... should be all go.

Hook up computer to tv

The Vizio GV47LF HDTV's connection bay has everything we'd expect. It includes a pair of HDMI inputs which can take 1080p sources (at 60 but not 24Hz), two component-video inputs, one A/V input with composite video and one with composite and S-Video, one RF input for cable for antenna connections, an optical digital audio output, and a VGA-style PC input for PC connections.
If you're connecting a computer, you'll probably be disappointed that the VGA input maxes out at 1,360x768 resolution (which did look pretty good) instead of the full 1,920x1,080. We did connect a PC via HDMI and got 1,920x1,080 resolution, but the image didn't look as sharp as the 1,360x768 version. Again, we believe this has to do with the lack of a dot-by-dot mode, although perhaps people playing with picture settings, either in the Vizio or in the video card's drivers, can achieve a better-looking higher-resolution computer image. All-in-all, shoppers looking for a big computer monitor would be better served by the Westinghouse LVM-47w1.

Dear Sir My Dvl 919 dvd player component output give black and white images no colour but SVHS have color images.Pls advise Erwin Koh

there are three wires associated with "component output" .. those have to be hooked up to component inputs on your TV .. not to the composite video input .. if you do hook up to composite you will get only a black and white picture .. make sure all three wires are connected correctly then select the proper input in your TV setup ..

How can I connect my Toshiba Satellite A305-S6872 laptop to my TV?

Check your notebook for "S-Video / TV out" port that has a 7-pin jack instead of a standard 4-pin S-Video jack. Check your laptop before ordering this adapter.

The newer your computer is, the better chance that it comes with either a RCA Composite or SVIDEO connection. Some notebook computers also have video outputs on them. When buying a new computer always look for the words "TV out" or "video out" in the computer description. 

If you only have a VGA connector and don't have an HDTV then your best choice is to buy a newer video card with an S-Video connector. There are other third party solutions out there but the quality is very poor and we do not recommend it. 

The VGA port is the connector that's connected to your PC monitor (the TV like device that came with your computer). This connector is usually only usable for VGA Monitors or HDTV setups. If you have an HDTV this will give you the best image possible. 

If you have an RCA Composite connector on the back of your computer, then you can use that. You may also need to power down your computer and reboot to be able to get the signal. You need an RCA Composite cable that will be long enough to reach from your computer to your PC. Connect the cable to the back of the computer to the back of your TV SET. 

S-Video is superior to that of RCA Composite and will give you a clearer picture. If you have a fairly new TV you should have this connector in the back. You will need to buy an S-VIDEO cable, which you can buy just about anywhere you buy home video products. Connect the cable to your S-Video on the back of your computer and then connect it on the back of your TV

My NEC mt1075 projector is projecting a shade of blue all over. The entire screen is showing the correct image, but also with a shade of blue. I think something is wrong with the internal wiring. Is this a...

If you're using component video (red/green/blue rca cables) one of the colors may be disconnected, or the wires may be swapped into the wrong color input. If you are using a 15 pin VGA connector, one of the pins may not be getting good contact at the source or at the projector. Or if the VGA cable is split into 5-wire to make a long cable run, one of the five wires may be disconnected. Any of these problems will cause a global color shift while not affecting the color of the projector's on screen menus.
