help me figuer out what's wrong w/ my new hdtv. it's sooo green

[cheapgoose]

so just picked up my panasonic 32hl44 today. hooked it up to a xbox via component cables, and the color is way off. the screen is green, instead of black. i tested with reg. av cables and the game looks great.

also tested the component cables with a dvd player, same proble,

any suggestions? bad cables?

It's green when you try to play games, or when the Xbox is off?

You probably have the cables plugged in wrong somewhere. They are color coded, but sometimes I get the colors mixed up and get the same issue. Check both the connections at the TV and at the source.

both. when i adjust the tint(?) i can turn the screen blue. but never the right color.

that's what I thought too, even got my flash light, the colors are def. right. red, blue and green. and i even purposely plugged them in the wrong ones just to see what happens. most of the wrong combo gave no pictures

might be a bad component in on tv.
