    I recently plugged my PC into my TV mostly for watching movies & what not. It looks great but the any time there's too much white on the screen I get a weird purple tint. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

    & sorry if I'm missing an obvious PC help thread already on the boards.

    That used to happen to me when I was using old CRT televisions with S-video. How are you connecting your pc to your telly?

    I had a similar problem with an old Samsung HDTV: magenta in white, green in black. Unplugging the component cables of my 360 "solved" it.

    It could be some interference from one of your other devices. When your screen is 'white' through your pc, try unplugging the other devices, one at a time to see if that has any effect. (*edit* unplug from the devices end if getting behind your tv is a pain.)

    I connect using a dvi connection and haven't had this issue, but I used to when using a crt tv with too many consoles/devices plugged into it.

    I use a DVI to HDMI for mine on a samsung lcd tv and don't have this issue. So give that a go, maybe it will play out for you?
