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?

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.

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
