New tv/hooking up 360....help?

[Oklahoma_Cat]

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  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.

HDMI or component?

component, for now anyway.

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.

  for effort, even if you were absolutely no help.

[Oklahoma_Cat]

Are you sticking them in the av cable holes?

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.

[Oklahoma_Cat]

blue, blue/gray, same difference.   

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

so 3 cables total, or 5?

3 = composite
5 = component

[Oklahoma_Cat]

I actually have 6.   

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.   

[Oklahoma_Cat]

Ok, so since this thread is useless, I guess I'll put my gamertag and if you chose to put yours, then swell.

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

[Oklahoma_Cat]

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 am one of those people. i also realize the gaming environment and climate has changed since then.  when was the last time a great PC FPS was released?

[Oklahoma_Cat]

Duke Nukem 3D

I played a FPS on a computer before... in 1995

And OK cat, your description of how you're trying to hook up the cables is 
Maybe I should freelance as an xbox 360 hooker upper guy.

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.    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.
