bought new Tv :) But....

Joao Sapiro

as you know , im the most incompetent person with electronics etc , so i bought a samsung LE83LR23 ( or something ) , its a 23 inch tv from samsung and i am VERY happy with it , there is just one small problem :

- i have an NTSC ps2 , and this tv can color it ( i needed a special adapter to convert the image from pal to ntsc to see it in color ) but the image is in color , really cool EXCEPT that it is in a green tint , so this was an easy fix by adjusting the tint slider right ? WRONG i cant edit the tint slide since it is locked...i checked the manual and it said it would only allow tint slides in DVD and NTSC system..wich my playstation 2 qualifies.

CONFUSED HALP PLEASE

sriously thanks in advance

I'm guessing you are using component? Apparently there are two forms of component and the PS2 uses one that causes problems on some TVs. I was getting a green output on my TV using component and I figured out one of the inputs (I think the blue one) was fucked up. Also, double check the inputs and make sure you didn't reverse blue/green or green/red because that can cause it.

it uses a yellow, red and white cable, crappy stuff :S , do you think that if i buy an rgb cable it will work better ? also i would have to use optical something sound with that right ? since the default cable for the ps2 has 2 audio ( the white and red ) and 1 image ( yellow ) im so confused :S

thanks nontheless

Please, don't listen to Psyk0. Monster cables are THE biggest rip-off in A/V history. THE BIGGEST.

lol seriously?

A friend of mine highly recommended them . He bought monster cables for his home theater system.

I'll be sure to slap him upside the head when i see him!

Monster is good when purchasing analog cables. They still aren't worth the dough you pay, but they are better than the cheapy cables. When it comes to digital signals though, it doesn't make a difference. If the signal makes it, then it should be good.

All these makers try to suggest that gold plated terminals are the best thing out there, but the reality is, the wire meets the terminal with a lead/tin solder connection, so basically the conductivity of the gold is only good for the few millimeters that exist prior to the solder connection.
The only thing worth paying extra for (on analog cables) is for shielding, which generally Monster provides, but they charge WAY too much for it.
