Hi there,
I am using an Acer Revo RL70, AMD E-Series Processor E-450, ATI Radeon™ HD 6300 with XBMCbuntu on a Sony Bravia LCD TV via HDMI.
Occasionally when I am using XBMC the screen will be fine and then suddenly the colours will go funky and they will have a pink or cyan hue. It usually fixes itself within a few seconds, but the times it doesn't changing source (say from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2 and back) fixes the problem.
I have tried two different HDMI cables with it and I still have the problem. I have also played the PS3 using the cables and I never get the problem with this.
I have tried searching the site and the net and I can't find any answers. Can anyone shed some light on the issue and suggest a fix? The constant need to change video source is quite annoying.
EDIT: Got this fixed.
I had the resolution lower than 1920x1080 (around 1500x100 or something) which meant I couldn't set the refresh rate to 60Hz. This was due to overscan on the screen. Removed the overscan on 1920x1080 and set the refresh rate to 60.
In addition, I changed the colour settings. It was on YPbPr 4:4:4 (or something similar). I changed this to RGB 4:4:4 Full RGB (Standard) (or something to that effect).
A combination of these settings fixed my problem.
