HDMI Output results in pink layer (1 Viewer)

[dhanjel]

I have some serious problems with the hdmi connection from my htpc to my new samsung 40m86.

For some reason, a pink / purple "layer" is above the displayed image. But this is only in windows. During startup (bios) all colors are correct.

I've tried to reinstall the ati drivers as well as windows without any luck. Its the same on all resolutions.

The htpc and hdmi cable works perfectly fine on my old samsung 32" lcd in 720p.

Here are two screen shots to illustrate the problem:




The first picture is the windows vista default screen saver (the background color should be black).

The second picture is withing vista with mediaportal running. The same problems with colors can be seen here.

I've tried the different hdmi inputs on the tv with no luck, my Toshiba hd-dvd works perfectly fine as well as xbox 360 over vga.

Graphics card: ATI Saphire Radeon X1600 (HDMI Output only)
TV: Samsung 40M86

It looks like its a problem with the color space over the hdmi output, but I can't seem to find a setting for it.

Any ideas or suggestions are highly appreciated!

try lowering your resolution to 1080i or 720p i have a similiarish issue i havent been able to resolve

when i route my hdmi's thru my amplifier, i cant use 1080p, tv looses signal and blinks pink

using 1080i everything is fine

I've tested all available resolutions with the same problem.
