Radeon TV-Out destroyed my TV 8(

[TStar]

hey there...
about 15mins i wanted to watch some movie via tv-output of my graphic card... i adjusted some settings,switched from pal-b to pal-g and back, just for a test..when i turned around again to my tv i saw THIS

i've drawn the white line because on the jpg picture you can't really see every anomaly...
the upper left corner:
when the background is blue,the corner gets yellow/green.. when the background is yellow,the corner gets somewhere between blue and purple...

the middle and right part of the picture have just some transparent white veil ...

and now guess what: it's not only tv out anymore, all my tv stations now look that way,so it's definately the tv hardware, not my graphic card's output

i'm screwed.......

Damn....to me it looks like there's some magnetic interference or some thing like that. Just to check, you don't have any speakers or anything like that near the tv do you? What kind of tv is it too?

 

[jflo]

too bad tvs don't have a degauss function like monitors. takes that s*** out.

 

[TStar]

left and right of the screen there are the speakers of my tv... but they're there since the tv was built so... ?

 

[yashooa]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH That's too funny and there is no way an S-video cable from your video card did that.
I laugh at your misfortune and your superstitious rambling My video card hurt my T.V." hahahahaha

didnt know that beeing an asshole is a profession down at your place (monkey)

o btw:
i took the plug out during the night and the colors are gone....a lucky bastard i am. could it have been the tv's speakers that messed up the colors? they must have been "influenced" somehow then..but by what?

Wasn't the nicest way to say it but he is right, there is no way a video input did that to your TV. Something witha decently strong magnet had to be near the TV for that to happen, it screwed up the beam pattern from the gun in the tube. I'd check around for anything that has a magnet in it having been placed close to the TV.

 

[TStar]

no time for e-penis.

well i was irritated by the fact that i first saw those colors when i switched some settings and turned towards the tv again ... so i thought somehow those settings affected the tv... mhm, my center speaker is lying on the center top of the tv...but it wasn't turned on and it's been lying there for like 2years now and never made problems...can't think of another source right now...

Hey yashooa, I'm german, want to give me s*** you ******* douchebag?

I have seen that happen before to older televisions. Forcing a TV to go from it's normal NTSC/PAL display and frame rate to a much higher resolution and frame rate CAN cause the ray guns and/or CRT's inside to burn out. Of course, under prolonged use. I would never recommend displaying video from your computer on a non-digital television.

I see that famous German sense of humour is still in tact.
Those Germans they are such a festive and care free people.
I did not mean to bruise your sensitive Aryan vagina.

 

[Autox MSP]

it could very well been the video card, refresh rates that the tv can't display right could hurt it.

Yes, maybe it was but I for one am pulling for the SUNSPOTS!

Had to probably be something magnetic. TV's do have a degaussing function when they turn on..

Some tv's do, like Sony's. Sony crt, or trinitron's are famous for that big BONG! noise when they come on. That's the degaus

Try unplugging it for 15 mins or so. Then turn it on.

Otherwise, go to Rat shack, get a degaussing coil. $10.

Excuse me? How about you take your elitest bulls*** somewhere else. Aryan? Are you joking? You and your yokel buddies need to lay off the meth. I didn't realize how much of a pretend kpabap you are.

I really enjoyed that part where you had no idea what you were talking about. Oh wait, that was every post you've made. Congrats on being completly incorrect. Why don't you just crank your boost up to like 20psi because there is NO way a turbo can blow a motor right?!?!
