Does the Dreamcast main menu look yellowish? I just unhooked from a CRT screen (S-video) and hooked my DC up to my HDTV w/ this cable. Looks yellow?

check your settings on the TV. Hooking my DC up to my Sony reset the "scene" settings for PC input and I have to manually set the colors back

No, it doesn't look yellowish in my HDTV using this VGA cable. I would double check the color settings on your HDTV first to make sure your cabel is not defective.

It looks really blue on my TV and on my computer monitor. I looked at this question's answers and assumed it was a defect. But after exchanging it for a new one, I still have the same problem! :/

We've been experiencing it off and on for about 6 months. Two nights ago, it was really bad...today...its not there. It comes and goes. In our case its a blue stripe. We've seen it whether its coming from the cable box or bluray player. I haven't played with it too much, so I don't have a pattern of what it does and how to defeat it. I'd like a comment from Panasonic. Our TV was 5 years old at Christmas.

Yes, it's normal. The LEDs are strobing on and off so there's less light output. The panel itself can only refresh at 240hz so the strobing is used to produce an apparent faster update rate. I don't recommend any option in the Motion Enhancement menu higher than 120hz. The 240 option does some bad things to both color and video noise.

I have had my zt60 for a little of over a month and I honestly can not see anything wrong with this tv. I have looked at the grey on the top and bottom of the menu and have not seen anything. when I first received my tv and hooked it up, I ran some color slides that I got from my brother-in-law for 100 hours, and I did not see anything wrong with any of the pixels. We also installed some of the professional settings that we got off the internet and I am well pleased with this tv. I understand that you may have a Panasonic representative coming out to look at yours. Can you post the outcome and what they tell you.

Greg, I am also watching the Olympics on Comcast HD and not experiencing a lot of the pixelation you mention, mostly during the fastest figure skating spins, and camera moves on other sports. In fact, I am blown away with the picture on this event. I have not changed my 120-Hz (whatever its called) setting from the factory preset, and it would be the only thing I suggest looking at. I also have the picture set on "Movie" mode, the others presets are just too saturated, bubble-gum colors... though I doubt that makes a difference. Hope you can resolve this.

Make sure connection in the back of the dreamcast is in all the way. I had the same issue. I disconnected it and rreconnected and then it worked great ever since.

There is no way that I know. When I installed mine, my cables were not fully seated and I saw a similar color issue. It is possible that one of your component or HDMI cables is not completely connected to the box or the TV/Devices. Check that your cables are firm and in the correct ports. If they are, you may try testing with another cable. Once my cables were set, my picture was perfect and I have had no problems with the box.

I had the same problem and contacted Monoprice. The following suggestion from them fixed the issue for me: "PS3 Settings -> Video Settings -> BD/DVD Audio Output Format (HDMI) that had to be changed from Linear PCM to Bitsream... This will help using DD 5.1 with PID 5557......I just want to add, that in doing this, you are making the audio receiver do all of the audio decoding. You will lose all of the menu sounds, like the ones from the BRP, and those from the Movies menu screen. Keep in mind that this is normal, and don't think anything is messed up."

Are you plugging the yellow cable in the green input? Just a suggestion off the top of my head :)

wish i knew, i cant seem to find the sweet spot either, i read the reviews and set it to what some other guy had, and it looked bad on my set, i noticed when i switched from componet to hdmi, the color changed , somehow, not sure what the best settings are

Use "Movie" mode, although it is darker than the others it gives you the best results in a dark room and allows for the quickest adjustment to proper calibration. These are my settings for my PS3/Blu Ray player (my HD Cable is slightly brighter) Oh and I strongly recommend you SHUT OFF Auto Motion Plus, it causes a soap opera effect and creates the illusion the picture is moving faster than normal. Color Temp: Warm 2 Backlight:7-10 depending on your preference Brightness:47 Contrast:95 Color:45 Sharpness:5 Tint:G49/R51 White Balance Settings: Red Offset: 28 Green Offset: 25 Blue Offset: 16 Red Gain: 25 Green Gain: 25 Blue Gain: 21 I like these settings and I got them from a credible source. Ultimately it is up to the viewer, and everyone has different preferences. I would advise a lower backlight setting for a few reasons. It is set high at the factory so the TV looks better next to it's competitors in store, and second it consumes more power and will shorten your TV's life span (will burn out faster). Play around with these settings and find what works for you. Hope this helps.

I don't have the exact screen. Mine is an airbright3d model. Just downloaded a 3d game. I am amazed with the picture quality on the screen.

the yellow/green tint is a known issue with the projection mechanism. mine was fixed under warranty, which was extended by sony for this issue. I don't know if the free fix is still available. if you search your model number a bunch of stuff will come up. good luck!

Slight. Yes, Im that guy using a ps2 with monster component cables. There is a microscopic lag, but not enough to worry about. Even fast fighing games, Doa ran great, as did other twitch games. Games look better if they are 480p, but 480i (most ps2 games) is acceptable. Im playing Final Fantasy 12 on this tv(480i) and it looks great.

This is most likely due to the monitor not supporting the native Dreamcast resolution of 640x480. Try an alternate display device. The cable is a pass through style cable, that simply takes the signal from the dreamcast (which outputs VGA for supported games) and passes it to the VGA monitor. Some newer tv's and flat panel monitors don't properly support 640x480.

I hooked my and my mothers up and the color codes are the kay on my vcr player it is the white on top of the red in audio out and the yellow is in video out, then match to the color coded plugs on the tv on mine the yellow was above the tv cable and the white and red were in the slots for audio in--since mine is just a player, and only goes out to the tv, yours should be both audio in and out and video in and out-it is very easy, basically I just played with the cables and tv and it worked-good luck Judith- I know you can do it, kathleen
