Samsung LE32R41BD and component video

darrenallen · 20 Feb 2006 at 15:42

I'm trying to connect my PC to my LCD screen using component video, as I don't have the vga cable. The graphics card is an ATI AIW 9800 Pro and im using the component output.
The problem i'm having is that the screen is just shades of blue i.e. not using all the colours. I suspect that it's something to do with the PC drivers or something, but not sure. I've tried using different resolutions but still get the same result. Also the bottom of the screen looks as if there's interference i.e. it's a bit wavy.
Anyone had the same problem and know of a solution?

Yeah, Unfortunately I thought of that. I can't find any anything on the LCD that gives any option to change it.

On a separate note has anybody used the component out on an AIW 9800 Pro to provide a proper signal. Just wondering whether the problem is the PC side?

Thanks for the advice. It seems that you may be right, in which case it would be a driver issue.
I just searched the ATI site and it confirms that I need to run a file called AIB_DRV which enables the correct component out (knew I should have looked at the site first).
Next problem is that it says the file is stored on the driver CD that comes with the card but I no longer have the disc.
Can anyone tell me if the file is contained within the latest Catalyst drivers or can recommend another place to get hold of it.
I'm in work at the moment so I can't check the Catalyst drivers myself.

sorry edited filename it should be AIB_DRV not ATI_DRV
