    hey there.
    i've recently connected my computer to my samsung le26r41 hdtv and i've run into a problem. every so often the colour balance will switch, going from regular to extremely red, or extremely green, or incredibly saturated etc. it can happen a minute after turning it on or an hour, it's very random and happens often. changing channel corrects it for a bit and the tv's menu isn't affected by the colour balance problem, so i assume it's the computer's fault. maybe? anyway, connected to my lcd monitor it was fine but now, on the tv, it's doing this.
    any ideas?
    my graphics card is a nvidia 6600 if that helps.

    thanks in advance! :)

    Welcome to HWF :)

    Is the VGA cable correctly connected to the pc and tv? If some pins of the cable aren't plugged in correctly, the image can change to a different color.

    thanks for the warm welcome!
    i'm using a DVI cable and it seems tightly secured/screwed in... should i try another cable perhaps?

    Yeah, you could try a VGA cable.
