I bought a set of Monster Cables, MiniVGA to Svideo/RCA. It works, but looks terrible, very hard to read anything...video looks okay, but very hard to navigate. Is there a setting, or something else I could buy to make it look better? Oh and it was outputting to a Panasonic HD TV.

I try to Command+Shift+/ when I can.

Hmmm... HD TV is a rather general description...
Do you know what resolution exactly the TV has? Does it have a DVI input? If it does, I'd use a dvi-dvi connector and set the resolution for the external monitor to whatever your TV actually has...

You don't get any benefit from the HDTV if you are using RCA cables to connect
