TV extremly fuzzy using computer
cowguy:
I finally got my arcade machine fully setup, but when I hooked up the tv using s-video everything is really fuzzy and you can't read any text. I'm not sure if it has to do with refresh rates or what. This is the first time I have ever used a computer with a TV so I don't really know a whole lot about this.

I found that you really have to run everything at 640x480 when using a TV to minimize the amount of scaling/blurriness that comes with converting the PC output to 480i.

I changed it down to 800x600 and that's the lowest I can go. It still looks fuzzy but better. I would be okay with the fuzzy picture because you can't really notice in games, but it makes me really sick reading any of the menus in gamex.

Try Powerstrip. You can probably force it to go 640x480

Yeah I installed it, but I got really sick reading it and couldn't tell what I was doing.
