Well, I ordered some 8 pin din connectors to make myself an RGB to component cable. The sync is now working fine, but I don't get any green. Red and blue look fine but anything green is showing as grey. I know that component doesn't actually carry green but instead uses the difference between red/blue to determine green, but I'm not sure how that plays into my issue.
I blame the Philips
You don't like Philips? It hasn't been a bad tv and the picture looks pretty good on it. Of course I only paid $5 for it at a yard sale. Also, it's of the flat tube variety.
