Hey guys, I know this forum is mainly used for Video Card discussion, but I have a question about my XBOX. I just got a new TV, its a JVC D-series 27" TV. I also bought the Xbox High Definition AV Pack that has component video inputs, the green,blue,and red. My question is, when I hook it up to the TV, everything is clear, but it is in Black and White!! I cant get color. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? My TV does have the same ports in the back...the blue,green, and red. I dont know and I really am considering just getting the S-Video output cable. Help me out PLEASE?!?!

Check your TV, it may have a setting for the type of HD signal coming into it, and your may be set incorrectly. This happened to me when I got me XBox. Got home, set it up and booted up OddWorld into a green/black screen (everything was shades of green or black). Now, since the green PERFECCLY matched the damm XBox logo color, I thought this was normal (but stupid). It wasn't to I put Halo in and then hit some of the demo's did I realize EVERYTHING was green. Changing the setting on my TV cleared everything up instantly (and gave my wife something she STILL makes fun of me about).

Mine was called something like HD mode, I could toggle the mode between RGB and something else (the something else is what I needed).
