Off Topic - TV res

[Dedos]

Hello,

I Know I'm probably gonna get some heat on this topic but....

I'm using a 25 inch TV with an S-Video converter to AV composite to the TV (Trust me, I've been looking for a 25 inch tv with S-video that does not exceed 25 inches width for my original Mortal Kombat II cabinet). The S video out is on the Video Card (Nvidia 4mx). Obviously in Windows it looks "fuzzy" and sometimes can't make out words. Since Gameex runs with big font, it's easier to look at but yet still a bit fuzzy.

Does anyone know of any "secrets" or tips on how to sharpen the TV picture running off a computer? I'm running at 640 x 480 with 16 bit colors. It's starting to agitate me since I vowed not to go back to a 21 inch monitor (19'' viewable).

Thanks.

Dennis

Get a tv that supports 1024x768 res.. They are getting more common all the time.. And Im not talking about a flat lcd tv.. I also use a tv.. And yes windows is blurred. Enable LARGE fonts and contrast mode in accessability help alot. But at the end of the day my gaming pc is shelled and I dont use the windows interface at all. If I need to service it I use remote desktop. All the emulated games are low res and look great on the TV. If you can use svideo it would look a little better but not a whole lot.
