Nadril Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 So I recently got a new TV for my dorm room. I've been trying to connect my xbox 360 using a Psyclone Universal component cable. The TV is set for component and I am hooking it up in the correct place. The problem is is that the picture is messed up, either duplicated or just not right. I went to the video settings but they have no option for 480i, Only 480p and above. The TV is set for just 480i so I'm confused here, because the 360 does support 480i. I've been trying to look for a while but I can't find anything that will help. Thats why I'm turning to you guys to see if anyone has any suggestions.

Nadril Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 define "the picture is messed up" lol Is the xbox outputting anything to the screen at all? are the colors all screwy ? etc etc Tried to define what I could. It does varrious things from colors getting screwed up, brightness going up or down, the screen picture just moving around a lot... doesn't really stay one way.

WutangFlu Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 try using 1st party cables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 Tried a different cable, same thing. Its mostly splitting the image in two on the screen right now. I'm using a Samsung 20" SlimFit TV TX-T2082 for my TV right now. It has a component hook up in the back but just isn't working out. the xbox works fine on my monitor but I want it to work on the TV.

Rhys Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Check you don't have POP or something turned on. So far it seems like the TV might be faulty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade995 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Ok, this is going on the little knowledge on tvs I have. Is the tv a plasma, lcd or a tube (big) tv? I believe the lcd and plasmas only support P resolutions and the tube tvs only support I resolution. It's how the picture is rendered, nothing to do with quality. Try and set it to the correct render. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and set it to the correct render. Well its a 'flat' screen but the TV goes back a bit. This is the TV I'm just going through my monitor for now, kind of gave it up on the TV. We might be getting a used PS2 for cheap to use on the TV lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikercool Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 This is a Samsung odd ball CRT... A CRT Low Depth. This TV is computer controlled because of the Low Depth. If the computer is not working right the color and saturation will be "off", plus there will we heavy warping. Is this a problem only with XBox, or is it will all video going to the TV?

I don't have anything else I can hook up to the TV to test that sadly. Cable works just fine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikercool Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 My guess is it is your XBox Cable, or 480p vs 480i... But if it is in I not P I don't think you would see any video at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhys Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 He's already determined it's not the cable by plugging it into his monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2d2 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Can detect 480i/480p/1080i/720p to ensure you get the highest quality picture the xbox is 480i, but your tv is missing that... call samsung?
