    You might want to re-adjust the color settings and stuff on the laptop when you hook it up to the TV. I had the same problem on my old HP.

    mate ive had this exact problem with every PC i've had. Ive tried 2 PC's a Laptop, 2 Sony TVs and a Bush TV. Ive used S-Video, component, etc .. its ALWAYS B & W. Ive made the settings PAL-I, the TV is set to Pal.. i can only assume its something im overlooking.
