Hooking up a TV to your computer

here is some

KenToad:
Whoa, thanks Hoagie.  I guess it probably would have been smarter just to do the search myself.  Sometimes I get lazy like that.

*Edit* Any thoughts on quality differences, or do all those products function pretty much the same?  And are they different/worse than an S-video adaptor to A/V cables.  I already have an S-video convertor for the labtop--not good for fine print, but fine for gaming and watching decent quality vids.

Cheers,
KenToad

I have a Radeon9250 PCI only.  I hooked it up to a 19" TV using a S-video to composite converter and was not happy with the results.  The window was angled off by like 2-4 degrees.  The software itself supports rotating the image but only in increments of 90.   I could compress the image, but then it looked too small for vertical games.

With that, fuzzy text, and the immense weight of the machine using a 24-27" TV, I decided to go with the PC monitor.  At least I can play Half-Life in full glory standing up( I sit down all day in my day job ).

You can use a KeyDigital VGA to Component Video adapter if your TV will accept such a connection.  I use my PC on a 57 inch Hitachi TV and it looks pretty good. 

I work in the Audio/Video field, and have found that KeyDigital converters seem to work out the best (IMO).  We use them everyday.
