RADEON 7500: really bad image on TV (very light colors and movements)

[DraguVaso]

Hi,

I have a RADEON 7500 (CGA-7564TV) in my pc.

I now try to connect it with my TV: I did this first with the S-Video
Output, but that gave me a really bad image on my television: the colors can
practily not be seen: it looks grey-white, you really have to look very
carefully to see some light colours. The image is alos kind of 'moving':
it's liek having a very low refreshrate. I used PAL B (I live in Belgium,
Europe). The funny thing is: when I use NTSC M (the american format i
thought), my image on my television is much more steady, but more grey,
hehe.

I also tryed to connect with a Composite Output (AV Output), a yellow cable
I got when I byed my videocard. According to the 'official' information I
foudn on the internet I shoudl connect with this, but that doesn't give an
image at all.

Can anybody please help me here, do you have any tips or help? I'm using
windows XP, my television is a BLUEsky (if that matters), any else you need
to know?

Thansk a lot in advance,

Pieter

obvious question - how is it connected to the tv? - your tv has a s-video in
socket?

I have this same card, I live in Canada so the format is different but there
is one common element . Your TV out is only as good as your TV. I was not
pleased to learn that myself and checked thoroughly. Also which ever device
you conect to remove the cable/antena this will remove some of the
interferance. The only other thing you could do I by a TV with HDTV feature
the resolution is much better and will look much sharper.

I watch DVD movies and play some game games on my TV other than that it's of
little use.

Good Luck

I bought a cable which has an Euro-AV-chart to put in the TV (the same thing
where a video has to be put). That Euro-AV-chart has on the backside 4
inputs: 2 for audio (Left and right), one S-video (which is giving the bad
image), and one which is called just "Video", and is in my opionion a
Composit Output (AV Output) (and which isn't working).

Well, my TV didn't cost a lot I have to admit, so I guess it's rather poor
quality. I really hope that isn't the cause of the problem, hehe, cause I
don't want to buy a new TV

you mean a scart? - big chunky plug with pins inside?
if that's the case, it sounds to me like your tv scart socket is not s-video
compatible.
sometimes you need to manually tell it to expect s-video.

the picture you describe matches what happens when you feed s-video into a
tv that doesn't like it via scart.

Hehe yes I meant scart, I thought alreaddy something was wrong, hehe.

Well, about that scart: I only have a scart, no other possibilities to give
some external input (offcourse I also have the 'normal' cable input for the
channels).

How can I 'manually tell' to expect s-video? Is it somewhere a configuration
that I should have on my TV, in that case, what does it look like that
configuration?

Thanks,

Pieter

some tvs can take s-video via the scart, some can not.
so i guess you need to find if your tv really can - that will depend on the
model.
and how you select it will depend on the model too.

I got a 9000 pro hooked it up to my tv, and it pretty much sucks. I just
don't think that tv's are designed for such a thing. In general its just
going to look like crap on your tv. Unless you buy one of those plasma
screens or a lcd screen. But hey that sounds say to expensive to me.

Maybe an LCD, as plasma sucks anyway. I've *never* seen a plasma screen with
a better image quality than my Sony Trinitron CRT. If and when I decide to
abandon CRT's (no time soon), I certainly won't buy a plasma.

With plasma displays as PC monitors, there's the danger of "screen burn". I think
the Windows system tray/taskbar may easily get burned at the plasma.

120% sure of that. LCD sound better, but then why don't just use a
flatpanel?
