On the topic of "TV out" - I switched from TV out cards to scan converters and never looked back. Search ePay for the term "PC to TV" and you should be able to find one for $20 on a good day.

Back when, scan converters were not a practical option as they were very expensive, but these days they are not too bad. The last one I used produced an excellent quality picture.

I'll be damned. I never even knew these existed. Have you ran into a video card that this doesn't work with? Setting your screen size and refresh rate can be done in windows right? Should work with any card then.....correct?  :dunno

They work a treat with any video card. I would look for one that supports 1024x768.

So how does the quality compare to tv-out usin s-video?

spystyle:
In my experience, scan converters produce a better quality picture than "tv out" cards.

It makes sense too if you think about it - a scan converter is an entire device dedicated to tv out, whereas the video card probably only has one small chip dedicated to that function.

Also, setting up "TV out" on a video card can be a pain. But the scan converter is "plug and play", absolutely no set up, it just works.

Just make sure it supports 1024x768, this ensures it's a newer one (good quality picture) and not limited to 640x480 (like the old ones I tried circa 1995)

Cheers,
Craig
