Faulty TV??

Think my TV may be on its way out....

The picture is perfect when watching cable but our game consoles come through black and white (2 different consoles) tried them with scart leads in both sockets and with the other leads (red, white and yellow ones)

Just wondered if someone had any thoughts other than its dying??

    Have you checked that the input you are using for the games consoles is not set to S-Video, this can result in a B&W picture.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Certainly appears to be a setting on your TV.

    There is no settings on the consoles (360 and a wii) and Ive been through every setting on the tv.

    The games werent used for roughly 6 weeks then we mounted the tv on the wall, so im not sure when it stopped working. It hasnt been knocked or anything so its probly just on its way out.

    I was just hoping someone had a miracle cure :D Thanks anyway.
