HDTV problem

Post by DerangedAbominator »

I just bought an HDTV and Connected my dreamcast to it with the S-Video Cable and the colors aren't very vivid it looks a bit faded. Is that normal for dreamcast on HDTV?

I use s-video on my HDTV and it looks just like dvd-quality. I'm not quite sure what you're talking about. Maybe you need to adjust some settings on your TV.

Spring for the VGA adapter, provided your TV can support it.
