Right folks, bought a cheapie HD LCD TV for local Tesco's.

Plugged in my scat lead for the Virgin box...no probs, and same goes for my DVD player.

The problem has occurred when I plug in the Wii. I get sound, picture...but no colour frown

I have the normal red/white/yellow cable (sorry no idea of the name of cable), but the TV is red/white/green. Also this is the case for my external media hard drive...it has R/W/Y connectors

Had a look at the settings, but it is a very basic TV, and doesn't seem to let me change anything.

Can anyone suggest anything to help? biggrin

With the Wii should have come a breakout adaptor which will convert the composite, l&r audio into a SCART which will just plug into the scart socket on the television.

If you havent got one then you can buy them cheaply, even supermarkets have them.

Whats the make and model? Have a few theories that could be wildly inaccurate.
