Make sure that the grounding point for the inverter is an absolute ground ( free of dirt, paint & grease ) the more that is between your grounding point and the wire, the more distortion you will get from the inverter. Also, make sure that you are not running any power wires near your video cables otherwise you will induce distortion through the cable.

I've tried an absolute ground but it does nothing when i run a ps one of of the inverter it works fin no interference at all, but with the ps2 it's horrible. When i use a wall outlet to run the ps2 it's perfect, i can't figure this thing out for the life of me, HELP!!!!

Make sure that you are sharing the same ground for the inverter as you are the video source. The shorter the ground is for the inverter the better the ground.

Hey everyone,

I talked to my local installer and he helped me solve the interference problems I was having on my display while running my ps2. He simply grounded the video cable by wrapping a ground wire around the exposed connection on the yellow rca jack and ran that to a ground. This eliminates any remaining interference running through the video cable which goes to your display. So make sure this ground and the ground for the inverter are good and hopfully this will solve everyones interference problems.
