Title: Black & white screen/wrong colors on TV
Post by: rvrhijn on August 25, 2006, 10:08:53 AM

When I connect my A1200 to my TV I don’t get the right colors. When I use the rf-connector I get a black & white screen. When I use a RGB-scart cable the colors don’t seem to be right. There’s for example to much green in it. The resolution is set to Pal High-res.

Any idea what’s causing this or is it just a problem with this specific TV?

Sounds like the TV's at fault. Is the TV working normal otherwise (I.e. Tuned into a station)?

Yes, the TV is working normal (also with a dvd-player, a xbox or Playstation).

No, it's a Samsung (on my Philips everything works perfect).

I guess the weird colours appear everywhere and not just in WB or something?
Also is both the amiga and the tv pal?? using for example a ntsc amiga with a pal tv could cause similar problemt.

If this only appear in WB, then it could be something as simple as adjusting the colour sliders in preferences.

They appear everywhere. Both the TV and the Amiga are PAL.
