Gamecube is in black and white on HDTV [duplicate]

I tried to plug my GameCube into my HDTV, but it displays in black and white. I could still play and hear everything. I have all the original cables for my GameCube, and it only does it with the Vizio TV I have. How do I fix this?

Best Answer

Since it's only on your Vizio TV then it probably means that you need to change some setting on your TV. On my Vizio you have to open the menu, go to picture, and then make sure your Color field is set to something around 50. If the color is set to 0 it will be displayed in black and white.

You might also want to try out the other inputs on your TV if there are any more that work for it.

If that didn't fix it then it could be the TV.

Why is my GameCube showing in black and white?

A GameCube can display black and white when the video cables aren't hooked up correctly. Most GameCube cable harnesses have composite cables, component cables, or some combination of the two. If you inadvertantly mix up these connections, the video will display incorrectly.

Why is my GameCube in black and white with no sound?

The lack of sound is because you're probably plugging the red/white audio cables into something that's not an audio input, such as the red/blue component video inputs.

How can I make my GameCube look better on HDTV?

The system launched in "Indigo", the primary color shown in advertising and on the logo, and in "Jet Black". A year later, Nintendo released a "Platinum" limited-edition GameCube, which uses a silver color scheme for both the console and controller.
