Purple / Green Screen - Bravia KDL-32EX401

jwg-hd — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 11:54:31 GMT

Hi,

After buying my Bravia TV on Saturday, I connected it to my PC as it's new main display via HDMI which runs great. I seem to have a problem that occurs every 1 - 3 hours where the TV re-syncs into Purple and Green colours before I would have to either wait a few seconds for a automatic re-sync or re-sync the TV back to default myself.

Included is a photo of my problem.

Thanks in advance,

- J

I have the exact same problem and it bugs the Hell out of me. To temporarily fix it I switch to a different HDMI output and then back which resets the TV but its not a permanent fix. Also I noticed that the TV switches to a Cinema option when it comes out of the purple/green screen. Can someone help with this?

It is probably not a problem with your tv-set. The problem lies in the videocard.

Just change the pixel format in ati catalyst from YCrCb to RGBFull and it should be ok.

I've found the solution here: http://devforums.amd.com/game/messageview.cfm?catid=279&threadid=118278&STARTPAGE=1&FTVAR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Linear

Hi there

Yes, the link doesnt work for me either - not surprising as it was over 5 years ago. However the hint is :

"The problem lies in the videocard. Just change the pixel format in ati catalyst from YCrCb to RGBFull and it should be ok"

So, you need to look at the display (video card) settings on your laptop.

Cheers

That's what I was looking for initially but I couldn't figure it out and now I think I have finally found the solution from the AMD Catalyst Control Center. Again, thank you for your help, much appreciated

I have a Bravia KDL 32W5500, (2010 model) for several months its been turning green / purple and is becoming a much more frequent issue,can be several times a day. You have to switch the TV off and on again. It has nothing to do with connecting to a laptop as I never use a laptop with it. It is though connected to a Sky+ HD box (has been for a couple of years without any problems)The previous link posted no longer works. Any other clues how to fix it? Thanks
