Hi there! I have a Acer TravelMate 4100 laptop and a colour TV. I am trying to connect my PC to the TV, but i'm having some problems. I send the signal out of my laptop trough a s-video output, the cable is connected to a converter that transforms the signal to a scart output that i directly connect to the "av->2" scart entry of my TV. The problem is that the image is displayed as black and white! These cables were recomended by my local store. Does anyone know how should i solve this problem? Any cables or adaptors missing? Tanx in advance!
Don't know what the heck a scart is. If you have a s-video connection on the TV you don't need a converter. All you need to do is set the computer resolution to closest match for the TV.
Ok, A SCART Cable it's at the back of the TV as inputs to connect a VCR, etc. Here's the picture, of this kind of entry: http://www.amabilidade2002.com/scart.htm My laptop has a 7 pin s-video output in wich i connected one end of a 4 pin s-video cable and the other end i connected to a scart adaptor. This scart adaptor as 4 entrys. One is a s-video entry, and the other 3 entrys are rcas (2 for left and right audio and one for video). As an output this adaptor has a scart entry. So I only connected the s-video from the pc to the s-video entry of the adaptor as an input. And connected the output of the adapator as a scart male directly to the scart female input of the TV (usually it's the "av->1" or "av->2" channels of the TV). Here's an example of this kind of adpator: http://www.mediaatlantic.com/product.php/366/0/ Since i don't have a s-video input on my TV, only 2 scarts inputs (and also 3 rcas), i have to use some kind of "conversion". The problem is that i can only see my pc in black & white in the TV. My television supports PAL B & G, and my display definitions of my ATI graphic card is set to that kind of display, so i guess the problem is in the connection from the pc to the tv. Any ideas please? Tanx!
