| Radeon X300 with TV. Need Advice. |

at 640 x 480 Interlaced I run my Radeon X300 card directly to a Normal NON high def TV and the picture is fine. It is good not great but all my emulators and my front end are set to 640 x 480. And I can navigate windows fine. It is not preffered for long hours but definitely fine. |

I have a 24" flat tube Toshiba and I run 640x432 component video and the clarity in windows is just fine. Actually quite sharp. You do need to up the font size a bit for viewing from a distance, but unless I need a large amount of desktop space, I can do what little I need to without a second screen at all. Just my experience. gT |

Okay, so I have the same card, I think (Radeon X300 SE) which I bought off of Ebay with no cables. It comes with S-video, VGA, and DVI output. I'm still a leetle bit confused regarding using the DVI port on this card to go to the component inputs of my TV. Can I use one of those DVI-I to component cables to plug into my TV? Does this card require a converter of some sort before I can hook it to the component inputs of the TV? Am I going to have to find an S-video to component cable? |

According to other forum, you need the dvi to component adaptor, not the svideo to component adaptor. http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/thread/33482.aspx |

Hey, thanks for the response and the link. Well, now I'm sort of torn between trying the $30 purple adapter that I'm not 100% convinced will work, or maybe scrapping that card and going with something else. I've searched and found plenty of recommendations for cards that would work with the more common ATI black adapter, but they are all AGP-based cards. I originally got the X300 because it was PCI-E, which is all I have aside from regular PCI slots. Anyone know of a PCI-E card with DVI-I output that I could hook up to the component connections of a TV? Thanks. |
