Re: output to tv "JW" <nospam[ at ]no.spam> 14.05.2007 23:23:02 For many graphics cards the scan converter chip for S-video has a maximum desktop resolution you can have and use S-Video output is either 800x600 or 1024x768. I suggest you try 800x600 for your desktop first and see if that works before trying 1024x768. With the Nvidia drivers you may able to set the S-Video up for Pan and Scan and then use higher resolutions on the desktop.

Re: output to tv JimH 16.05.2007 22:21:00 Many thanks for yours and others help on this forum. I have now got reasonably good image on 32" standard TV --full screen, slightly cropped and on some chanels the image is actually improved (ie less snow/interference) via pc then direct off cable. My 22" monitor however has been degraded from 1600x1200 to 1024x 768. I was getting used to and enjoying the functionality and quality of the large monitor and now wonder how to get it back without losing TV output. I could live with it the way it is but..... I have it set up in the nvidia control panel nView as cloned and option for higher resolution not available. I was wondering if the dualview option in nView would give me what i want. I dont see any reference in the nvidea control panel to "pan and scan". Appreciate any suggestions.

Re: output to tv "JW" <nospam[ at ]no.spam> 16.05.2007 23:12:27 Does your convential TV also have YprPb component interface in addition to S-Video by chance? If yes you could use it if your 8500GT came with a dongle to support YprPb component like mine did.

Re: output to tv JimH 17.05.2007 00:46:01 Unfortunately it does not nor did my 8500gt come with a "dongle" which i assume is a dvi plug to YprPb component converter. Any other suggestions or do I "just" buy a new HD Tv? Thanks.

Re: output to tv "JW" <nospam[ at ]no.spam> 17.05.2007 02:32:29 Well since your TV does not support Yprpb component it does not make much difference. My 8500GT card came with a 9 pin din connector and a dongle that from which it supported HDTV-OUT(Yprpb component) or TV-out (S_video) "JimH" <JimH[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:8ACCDD11-A006-41F6-BFCC-F3F64C1FD624[ at ]microsoft.com...
