TV-image is in black and white

[Zimzimma]

Hi!
I get a problem when I connect my laptop with the TV. The TV-image is in
black and white. I have tried both scart-connections but both is showing the
image in black and white. I think it is a computer-related problem and not a
TV-problem. Have I missed some settings for multiple screens or what?

Generally when you have issues such as this it's because the device outputing
the video hasn't been set to the same setting as the TV. What I mean is if
the TV only supports NTSC then the setting on the output device (your laptop)
should be set on NTSC too & if PAL then the output device should be PAL too.
*Some* TVs accept both PAL & NTSC.

Have you tried connecting the laptop to a different input port on the TV or
perhaps on a different TV? Re-install your graphics card drivers & make sure
you have the latest drivers.
