Your xbox 360 plays black and white, what happened?

There are many possible causes when your xbox 360 plays black and white. Whatever the cause, nobody enjoys playing games in black and white, unless you're using an old black and white monitor. :)

The first thing to try is to inspect your Audio video connections, specially the video cable that runs from the xbox360 console to the tv. Moving it a bit or unplugging/replugging it may do the trick. A loosely connected or incorrectly plugged cable can cause images to appear erroneously.

If that doesn't fix the problem, you can try connecting your game machine to another tv or video device. This would help isolate the real culprit of the problem. If connection to a different video device shows correct video display and color, then the problem is the other tv / video device. If not, you can try using another AV cable instead.

Some other possible problem may be associated with the type of video your game currently supports. A game that requires PAL settings would need the tv or video device to be set as PAL, while an NTSC based game would need NTSC settings as well. You can determine this by looking at the hardware requirements of the game you're playing.

There are still a lot of things that may go wrong and cause xbox 360 plays black and white problem, just a defective GPU inside the console.
