NVidia FX 5200 TV OUT bad

Hi All,

I have just installed the Vista RTM and I cannot get the TV to properly disply Vista.... The tv shows the background, start bar, etc, but it is extremely blurry and in black and white. I am using the Svideo out on the card to a Panasonic Flat screen CRT. I had the same problem in XP, but once I installed the drivers you could configure the monitor as a TV but Vista won't let you do that. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers - S

OK I have another update on the details of this problem....

I found a post at thegreen button - http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/thread/136140.aspx which is referring to the exact problem that I am having.....
I did load the latest NVidia drivers and the Nvidia Control Panel does have TV settings there however if I try to configure it there still no success....

cheers - S

Just thought I'd provide more info.... One thing I have noticed is that VISTA shows the TV as a "NON-PNP Generic Monitor' whereas XP shows this as 'Generic Television' I have tried to get it to detect the TV btut it never finds a different driver. I have a feeling that if I can get it to show it as a TV that I would be fine. Any pointers?

This sort of issue with svideo, has been resolved for me in the past with a quick cable check. Might be worthwhile, if the whole signal doesn't get through the output is B&W.

Also if your card is outputting an NTSC signal to a PAL display it can result in B&W output also. So check your refresh rate.

Install the 97.27 drivers. YOu may need the modified .inf file for it to recognise your card. This version has the TV section enabled in the NVIDIA control panel.
