For some reason the playstation 2 is in black and white only. We tried to plug something else into the connection on the TV and it was fine but the playstation is still only black and white.

Tara, depends on how you have your PS2 connected. If you are using the component cables, check in the system settings and check if its in regular RGB. If you use the regular Yellow, Red and White cables, it should be in RGB mode.

I was having the same problem but I changed my input from component to AV and that worked.

This one is problem on the HDTV with tons of features in it. First go to your TV’s settings and open option (in my case I’m using 50" Sharp Aquos 1080p), if you don’t find it check something similar to above. Then, you want to change the “Input Select” from “Component” to “Video.” This will change the color system automatically as “Component” label are for newer devices and sometimes can’t cope with older devices such as PS2. After you’ve done it you might see the “Colour System” option and that’s where colour calibration option exist. My TV sets itself to NTSC 3.58 where as the component shows 480i(with monochrome color).
