Blast! Damn you CRT TV/graphics card!!!
LASmith132:
Hey Guys,
I have a 25" CRT Akai Tv and a graphics card that has a DVI,VGA, and S-video out. In the graphics card setup menu there is a tv-out choice. The tv has inputs for RCA and also composite (kb rg, etc)* no s-video. I have connectors that go from s-video to rca yellow, vga to rca dvi to composite, etc. :blah:
The tv "sounds" different when the computer trys to put the screen on it, but no video ever. :banghead:
I am out of ideas :angry: ???
GOT ANY SUGGESTIONS
Malenko:
I thought RCA and composite were the same thing?
what kind of graphics card, what resolution are you running?
LASmith132:
I will check the graphics card when I get home tonight, but i have tried diff rez's 600 x 800, etc. there is a green blue red inputs that have letters next to them.
thanks for the quick reply.
Malenko:
old CRT TVs dont really support any good resolutions, I had some nvidia cards that could do 800x600 over svideo well enough. if youre using a VGA to component cord, well, I could never get one to work.
ahofle:
So which one are you actually using (you never said)? The three colored RCA inputs are component, not composite. Composite is usually a yellow RCA input (sometimes with red and white RCA audio inputs next to them).
Your quickest bet is to us the SVideo to RCA adapter, plug that into the composite input on your TV, and set your desktop resolution to 800x600 or 640x480. Don't forget to select the aux input or whatever it's called on your TV.
