I've recently had a problem connecting trying to connect up a Nintendo
Wii console to my VGA monitor using a transcoder box and the Wii's
component output (which goes to the transcoder box) - I was finding
that the colours were very 'washed out' - turning down the brightness
just made the image darker, turning it up the colours lost their
vibrancy and contrast, and blacks were a bit grey.
After looking around the 'net it seemed there were two possible
solutions - add a 150 ohm resistor (or thereabouts) into each of the
Red, Green and Blue signals in the VGA cable, or use a 220uf
electrolytic capacitor. The resistors just made everything even
darker, however the electrolytics fixed the problem.
What I'm curious about is why this is the case - I can understand why
the resistors made the image darker, but why did the electrolytics fix
the problem?
Thanks
