Problem with TV-out on T41

#1 Post by spot_ex » Fri Jun 19, 2009 10:55 am

Hi there! I have a T41 and tried to connect it to my TV. First with S-Video to S-Video cable, with the propper settings in Presentation Director.. Got picture, but black&white. Tried also with a S-Video to normal TV-in.. B&W again. Also tried it on a different TV - same resault. Tried both PAL and NTSC, on SVGA and XGA. Where the problem could be? My video is Ati Radeon 7500 32MB.. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
George

I see you're in Eastern Europe, so I'm guessing your TV is PAL. I've always used NTSC (being in the US) with no problem. I've got to think it's something to do with the video system but all I can suggest is to play with the refresh rates in the video driver setting.

Yesterday something strange happend - I was getting the T41 connected to the home TV, just to use the TV speakers.. But tried aslo the video and guess what - it just worked! The picture was with full colours! I haven't made any changes to the system. I don't know how this happend but I'm happy - watching movies on the TV!
