I'm trying to make an entertainment center PC so that I can browse the web when I'm in the LR sitting on the couch. Right now it's a PII 450 with 256 Mb of SDRAM and a Abbit Silluro MX440 based video card. I'm using a regular TV as a monitor via the TV out function of the video card, and I can connect either via Svideo or regular RCA connection. The problem is that the image quality is, basically, horrible. It's a bit better with Svideo, but not goo enough. A monitor connected to the same video card has excelent quality. Is this just a limitation of the Nvidia TV out? Right now it's usable ( I have a 27" TV), but you can see the image "go up", similar to what you see when you videotape a TV, and the screen looks like it has "lines" on it.
Is there a way to convert the output from the VGA connector to a Svideo or RCA output? Will the quality be better?
