Mac and TV (Philips) as second monitor - handshake problems (turquoise colors)
Hi everybody,
I have a problem and hope that somebody mabye has a hint: I connected my iMac via Mini-Display-Port-to-HDMI-Adapter (on Thunderbolt port) to my Philips TV as a second monitor (to watch movies on it etc.). However, after a few minutes the TV always goes fully green for a second and after that, the colors are inverted to a green/turquoise mess - identical to the problem a lot of people (including me) with Philips and Sony TVs had with the new Apple TV until Apple finally fixed it with an update.
Does anybody know if I can also fix THIS "color inversion" problem with my TV? Am I screwed again only because of my Philips TV or does the reason lie somewhere else? Is trying another MDP-to-HDMI-adapter a chance or is this little thing not relevant for this problem? I also tried activating the "PC Modus" on my TV (which also was a hint with the old Apple TV handshake problem), but it doesn't work (and didn't with the Apple TV either).
Any hint is appreciated - although I am afraid this is a very special problem with my Philips TV hard to track down ... (Considering that it already took Apple months to fix it on the Apple TV.) Anyway, thanks a lot in advance!!!
EDIT: Now, after posting, I found some other threads addressing the same problem, too. (I searched before, but didn't stumble upon them ...) Sorry for this new thread, but there still seems no solution out there. We Philips- and Sony-TV-Owners probably need an update for the computer like Apple did for the Apple TV, but how high are the chances ...?
