Hi all,
my specs:
AMD PhenomII X6 1090T CPU 3.2ghz
nvidia geforce 560 ti
windows 7 home premium 64-bit
The issue I'm having is this: I've decided to plug my LED LCD TV into my PC so I can use my PC as a media center-type deal. My 560 ti came with a DVI-to-VGA adapter and I had a spare VGA port on my TV, so I decided to use a VGA cable to connect the two.
Initially, I purchased a 14-pin VGA cable, but I had a blue tint problem. I read someplace that a 15-pin cable is needed, which I just bought. I plugged that into my VGA-to-DVI adapter and now I have more of a green tint on my TV.
I began reading about the differences in DVI-to-VGA adapters, how there are DVI-A, DVI-I, and DVI-D adapters. Mine is a DVI-I adapter. Likewise, the 560 ti output seems to be a dvi-i.
I used this guide to determine which connections I have, the adapter I'm using resembles figure 4:
So far, I've checked all the pins and they seem to be in good working order. I also am getting a signal, since I can interact with the TV screen as a second monitor. The picture is crisp and looks fine aside from the color. I tried toying with the colors selections on the TV itself (warm, neutral, cold, etc.) with no success, in addition to using nvidia's built-in color manipulation program, but without any luck.
I'm at my wits end and was hoping someone here would have a spare moment or two to drop a comment if they think they might know what's up. I've been considering picking up a DVI-to-HDMI adapter and running a HDMI cable to my TV, but using the VGA cable would've been ideal since my TV only has the 2 HDMI ports.
Apologies if this has come up already and been answered. I got a ton of hits when searching for problemswith tints, but none of the solutions seem to work or address my specific problem.
Would totally appreciate any insight offered.
