what d'ya think?
I emailed the guy and he said the picture quality is perfect, and I have no need for a tuner anyway...
Only problem is adjusting contrast/brightness...but I presume there is PC software to do this via the graphics card?
Oh, and one more question...is it better to get a graphics card with a good TV out, or just get a Matrox (very good for 2d) and hook itr straight to a TV (using the VGA port) - my brother has an adaptor which plugs into a VGA card, and has s-video on the other end, so you can connect it up to a tv...

Most cards do have brightness and constrast settings for TV out.
That cable your brother has will only work on a specific video card, unless you have that same card it won't help you.
ATI made cards are reported to be the best consistently for TV-out.

I've got a 25" running svideo from an ATI Radeon 7500 which I bought new for

the TV got delivered yesterday...it's a bit grubby, but the picture is great...
wonder what else I can scrounge for my cab...don't really wanna spend loads of money on it...
