green tint with component cable

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I just bought a Westinghouse 32 inch LCD (SK-32H240S) and have an issue with the component inputs. If I connect any of my game consoles to the YPBPR inputs (of which there are 2) the image has a green tint to it, mostly to darker areas. This happens with Xbox 360, Ps2, and Wii.

The VGA and RCA inputs reproduce colors normally.

The odd thing is that the LCD tv I had before this one also had a green tint when I plugged in my consoles to the YPBPR input, however my old LCD had a 2nd component input labelled "YCBCR", and when I plugged the component cables into that, the colors were normal.

So what is it? I must be doing something wrong, but why doesn't it show normal colors on any of my game consoles? I do have them plugged into the TV correctly, and the cables are all brand name (microsoft, sony, and nintendo). I'd like to know if its my TV, but its strange that this same thing happened on my old TV as well, but I was able to bypass that by using the other component input. Could both component inputs be broken on my Westinghouse?

Anyone have any experiences like this or have any solutions?

Thanks very much for any replies

just an update here... I went back to best buy, and tested my Wii on thier floor model. The component input worked great, and the colors were normal.

So I exchanged my TV for another one, same model. I bring it home and now the image from the component cables has a lovely blue tint instead of a green one.

So I'll live with it, I can't afford better. Its just crappy.

If anyone plans to use component cables, then don't buy this TV (westinghouse 32h240s) because it sucks donkey dong.

In your video settings you can manually adjust the RGB values under the color warmth settings to your liking. Mine had a green tint too and some tweaking ironed it out.
