Title: New tv/hooking up 360....help?
Post by: Oklahoma_Cat on December 03, 2008, 07:58:10 PM
Got a new tv....hooking up the hdtv outputs of the 360 into my tv so that I can get killed a lot in halo in better quality. 

Audio is fine, video is fine....except that it's black and white.

Any ideas why that is happening?


3  :kstatriot: to whoever helps.

Pull all your cords out and jam them back in.  Then, make sure the little switch on the cables is switched over to the right setting.   :dunno:

Bro, I just called the IT guy at my office and he said, "Try re-booting your computer."  Don't know if that's any help or not.

You're a heck of a go-getter, stevedave.

 :kstatriot: for effort, even if you were absolutely no help.

blue/gray? what the hell.  That is probably your problem.  How many hookups do you have? Should be 5 total. Red/white audio and red/green/blue video.

blue, blue/gray, same difference.   :lol:

Yes, blue is in as video, red and white audio.

so 3 cables total, or 5?

3 = composite
5 = component

I actually have 6.   :confused:

I found a buddy that has the exact same tv, so he's going to look at his and tell me where everything is supposed to go.

Thanks though, Saul....you are truly the man.    :kstatriot: :kstatriot: :kstatriot:

Why would anyone game w/ you? You can't even hook up your 360 right.  Hate to see what you can do in CoD4!!  :ku:

same thing happened to me the first time I hooked up my old ps2 to the hdtv.  pulled them back out, and plugged them back in and it was all better.

Spoken like a guy that never played FPS on a computer before.

If you were one of those guys who ever played a lot of quake 2, CS, etc back in the day, there is practically no chance that you are a fan of the console FPS.

I thought we were e-pals.

I was tired, it was dark in my apartment, and it was a new tv.  Eat me.

This thread is now about Duke Nukem 3D.  I loved that game.

Pretty much all FPS that are released on consoles are released on PC as well.  They usually look and play better too.  :flush:  Dual analog sticks to AIM? LMAO GMAFB! 

I would love, absolutely love, for Microsoft to integrate all of their 360 FPS w/ PC servers.  PC players would absolutely dominate the console n00blars.

agreed - it'd be cool, and it's not going to happen.  that's why you're not playing an FPS right now on your PC. 
i got tired of living in the past and gave up.  you're right, i prefer mouse/keyboard.  not an option.
