If your video card has a TV-out port (usually S-video) then just use that. You can get S-video-to-composite (RCA) adapters, and they are not expensive. Composite is near the bottom of the barrel for picture quality though (the only thing worse is RF).

So its better to use s-video then this adapter Im only asking because im trying to find a 19 tv with s-video but know luck most just have RCA jacks

That adapter is DVI to component. If you think finding a 19" TV with S-video is hard, try finding one with component inputs. The 19" TVs you are finding with RCA jacks; those RCA jacks are for a composite input, not a component input. Component connections also usually use RCA jacks (three of them for video, compared to just one for composite), but it is a totally different signal than composite.
So no, that won't work at all, unless you do find a 19" TV with component inputs (unlikely); in which case, it is a higher quality signal than S-video; second only to RGB in terms of analog signals.

Same deal. That's for component, not composite.

A 19" TV with S-video would be difficult to find in North America; A 19" TV with component inputs would be next to impossible.
I gotta be honest. If you're going for a 19" TV, why not nix the TV and use a 19 or 21 inch CRT PC monitor? It'd be a LOT easier to find and can hook directly up to your PC in the cab.
