2nd Monitor = Color Probs! Help needed ^^

Post by Bruunpala

Hello i just bought a new 32" monitor to run alongside my normal laptop. It works all good, both resolution and sound, but every so often the color of the screen flips or screws, making it green and pink. This is a major problem as i raid almost every night and so far it has screwed me a couple of times during different encounters, where i've had to work without being able to see boss hp, my mana, my hp, boss skills, other peoples hp and so on. I was hoping some1 else here might have heard of this or tryed it themself, but any contribution will be helpfull.

For some tecnical facts: It is a 32" Philips HD TV, I use a HDMI cable to connect it to my laptop, and my laptop is a HP with 4 GB Ram, 2.10GHz Dual-Core, i use ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450, and I've also used another TV as a monitor for this computer without any problems, also using a HDMI cable.

Atm I use the screen on the laptop for browsing the internet, while the other screen is connected to let me see WoW, they stand beside each other so i can move the mouse from one screen to the other.

Also the color flips happens even when not playing WoW.

Sounds like a Data Cable issue. This issue is very common with an inadiquate connection between the display and the computer. Make sure both ends of the cable are firmly secured to both the Display and the Laptop. Screw them in if possible.

If that does not help, try another cable. HDMI is all well and good, but you will not see a difference if you use DVI, HDMI just has audio capabilities.
If that does not help, you may have a issue with the socket on your laptop or Display.
