| 446714 | 2006-04-16 08:00:00 | I used to be able to connect up my computer to my analog TV. The quality was not great, but suprisingly DVD's played pretty well through my pc to the TV. This was useful because DVD players (for tv's) tend to be unreliable, while my DVD rom never seems to fail. I made no hardware changes, but I have lost my picture. The TV gives a very fuzzy very red and blue image. My guess is that 16 colors is the most it is showing. My settings are, Windows XP home. Radeon 9600 series graphics card. I have plugged my tv using the plug to my graphics card, the same type as left and right audio. The left and right audio work fine. The lowest resolution I can set my computer to is 800x600, do i need to have this at 640? Is that the problem? If so how do i get to this resolution. I have correctly set the format of the tv (PAL for me) and made sure its turned on the in the DISPLAY tab. The only other settings in the tv tab are trivial. I know that this can be fixed since it used to work! It would be great if someone could help me out. My wife was already not happy about me drilling holes in the wall to connect the cable to the lounge tv :( |

I'm using an ATI card here too, and the TV is set to 800x600. I dont think I cant change mine to anything else but 800x600 anyway. BUT, its fine at this resolution. The monitor itself is @ 10247x768. |
