In trying to connect my computer to the TV (50inch Plasma) I pluged in a DVI to HDMI converter and ran the HDMI to the tv. There is a picture but the screen is extremely green. Is this a faulty wire, converter, or a setting on the computer or tv? I have searched the tv and computer for settings to adjust this but have found none. Any ideas?

If your graphics card has dual DVI outputs, try the second DVI port. Does the problem persist?

The computer has a Radeon 9700 graphics card. There is only one DVI output.

If your TV happens to have a D-Sub vga connection, try both port connected to that (use a DVI-VGA adapter) for the DVI port. Also, I believe that card may have a S-Video out port. Try that port. I'm not saying these are solutions; just trying to determine where the fault is.

I ended up returning the cables to Best Buy and buying the same items. Everything worked fine when I tried it. The original cables must have had a defect or were damaged.

Thanks for the help.
