Right folks, bought a cheapie HD LCD TV for local Tesco's.

Plugged in my scat lead for the Virgin box...no probs, and same goes for my DVD player.

The problem has occurred when I plug in the Wii. I get sound, picture...but no colour frown

I have the normal red/white/yellow cable (sorry no idea of the name of cable), but the TV is red/white/green. Also this is the case for my external media hard drive...it has R/W/Y connectors

Had a look at the settings, but it is a very basic TV, and doesn't seem to let me change anything.

Can anyone suggest anything to help? biggrin

With the Wii should have come a breakout adaptor which will convert the composite, l&r audio into a SCART which will just plug into the scart socket on the television.

If you havent got one then you can buy them cheaply, even supermarkets have them.
Hmm I'll have a look....it was the ex who bought it, so I have not got a ding dang do hehe

Update...got the adaptor, and hey presto

Thanks thumbup
