Hi posted this on the monitor/video forum a few days ago and got no response, maybe I will have better luck here....


Currently working on converting a showcase cab.  Have the CP rewired and the PC set up, now trying to figure out the best way to handle the TV.

It is a 32" Sharp 32SC26B....has composite, component, and s-video inputs.

Currently I have a spare video card.  Geforce GT 440 with 2 DVI and 1 HDMI out.

Anyone want to give suggestions on what the best solution would be?
Buy a converter to go to the composite or S-Video?
Try straight from the DVI to the component?
Spend $40 and buy a 9800GT with S-video out?

I have a 9800 and s-video works perfectly. I can get it to output component as well but the resolution always messes up after reboot. :angry:
