B&W image on CRT TV with VGA to SCART cable

Unread post by finite9 »

Hi,

As title says. I've got the IO board with VGA, connecting it to a 2002 25" CRT TV with SCART cable, and i've set mister.ini composite_sync=1.

If I connect mister to an LCD TV that has scart input, then colour works fine.

Is there another setting for RGB, or do I need to set something specific in the TV menu?

Regards,

I'm thinking that TV doesn't support RGB over SCART. Your B&W image is just one of the color channels.

Yeah not every TV that has a scart socket can actually produce a 60hz signal.

What model is the TV?

uh. Sometimes you just need to make sure the colour is not set to zero :/

realised that even the tv menus were b&w. reset tv to default settings and got colour back.
