SyncMaster 213T Screen quality

1) The set of input (Yellow= Composite video, Red= Right channel audio, White= Left channel audio). This set of input is for composite video.

2) The set of input (Red= Red video signal, Green= Green video signal + sync, Blue= Blue signal, Red= Right channel audio, White = Left channel audio (the Red and White will be grouped close together). This set of input is used for Component video for HD signal.

You should try using composite video source (Yellow RCA jack) from DVD player and feed to the monitor and see if it works OK with all color showing that way we acn find out if it is the video source problem or the monitor video signal processing problem. Try the PS2 on the TV if it works OK also.

**Keep all pairs together and you should be fine***

Unpluged it both the ends and check the connectors for problematic pin.

Stelios.

I will not be surprised that it will be bad capacitors, that is the first place to check, see some samples here: http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy352/budm/Samsung%20Syncmaster%20214T/

On these combo units, the VCR will not play using component cables but the dvd's will play just fine.

What you need to do is run a pair of composite (Yellow, red and white) cables and use that for VCR and component (Green, blue, red, white and red) for the dvd player.

Make sure you switch the tv to the corresponding input.

Pink - red input - pin 1 green - green input - pin 2 blue - blue input - pin 3 ground shield wire - pin 6,7,8 and 10 black - ddc 5v - pin 9 violet - screen raster - pin 11 white - data or sda - pin 12 orange - clock or scl - pin 15 yellow - vertical signal - pin 14 clear - horizontal signal - pin 13

whats the light on the towere if the light is stedy green then the tower is ok so unplug the data cable from tower and turn on the monitor then if it run the self test then monitor is ok if its not yiu need to repair or replace the screen

I had a similar problem on a different monitor and fixed the green sparkles by selecting a lower refresh rate.
