[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 501200, member: 24160"] Am sure you probably don't have the capability on the TV you're trying to use, but for others that may come across this thread, let me just add, moving to a VGA, DVI or HDMI connection from your computer to a Hi-def TV will produce a satisfactory display in most cases (depending on the OS). Windows and Linux will both produce a quite satisfactory display on either 720p or 1080 displays. OS X is fine for displaying pictures and movies on a HDTV screen, but for text is definitely at the bottom of the heap and really requires a monitor. And just as an FYI: Any signal that goes through an s-video cable maxes out at 640 x 480. You may see an improvement by setting the resolution to this on the computer, as your video card is going to be a better converter than what is in the cable. [/QUOTE]
