Hi i was wondering if anyone can help me see i usually connect my laptop to my other tv(regular crt) using the svideo cable and it works good but of course not so sharp.

anyways I just bought myself a new hdtv lcd so it would look clearer and it does just that well i connected it the same and everything works properly just that there is no color showing up on my tv montior.. the tv works perfectly with games tv show everyithing i alrady tried to configure the laptop by going to graphics property but is there something i missed or something that i need to do diffret

see the weird part is my other crt (older tv) works fine and now that i got a lcd it dont work well it does just that it dosent give out the colors only in black and white… need help please.

i tried everything from display properties to just about every site i found and yet nothng. help.

The problem could be with the type of video your are trying to view. Is the format PAL or NTSC video. NTSC is the US. PAL is another format used in many other countries. Sometimes viewing PAL formatted video produces B&W. Perhaps you should use composite cabling instead. Make sure that your new TV is PAL compliant or maybe you can configure it to view PAL and NTSC formatted video. Sorry I can’t offer more help. Good luck.
