When I connect my iPhone 5 or iPad 4 to my tv using a VGA adapter, the picture is horrible pink, purple.

YEs, my tv is actually a giant monitor. I have three brand new cables, that I have tried backwards and forwards to get the green to work. Apparently the red and blue work fine.

I Had a neat little docking station with my iPhone 4s that played videos to the TV, so I tried an adapter first, but all it would do was charge. So, my daughter bought me the vga adapter after doing some internet research. I wonder if it is the adapter itself that has an issue. Or perhaps the vga connector on the tv....As many others seemed to have the same issue, I thought perhaps it had been resolved, and no one just got back to the forums with the answer.

THanks for for the reply.

Thanks, I tried three different brand new cables, all with the same result. One seems to give a better blue, but no green. I may have to drag the desktop computer across the room to see if it works clearly as a monitor for that. That would eliminate the possibility that the connector on the tv is bad.

Anybody have any more thoughts/ideas?

I figured it out!

There is a setting, buried deep in the monitor's menu for RGB. Once I found that, and adjusted it, all was well.

So well in fact, I started using the system for presentations
