How to use s video for pc to tv?

when i use s video for my connection to my tv from my pc the image quality really sucks. the picture is really blurry and slightly distorted. is there anything that can be done to make it better or should i invest in a HD video card? i am using a 19 inch Toshiba hdtv and i have a ATI Radeon x300/x550/x1050 Series Graphic card that has only DVI, VGA, and S-Video|||Your image looks like crap because you are using the worst possible connection.



S-video is complete garbage. It is a low-definition analog connection from the days of old boob-tube TVs and you have no business using it with a high-definition TV.



You should be using a DVI-to-HDMI cable instead, which is digital and can take full advantage of an HDTV. (Yes, DVI is compatible with HDMI.)|||I have the ATI Radeon x1050 series and it supports dual monitors fine. Try going into the video settings and increasing the screen resolution for the second monitor.|||I don't know what connections you have available on your TV but assuming you have DVI you should just do the dual-monitor setup with that video card. Extend your desktop and things should look great.



You can convert your VGA port on your PC to an HDMI port for your TV which will give you high definition video, but the tradeoff is that they are kind of expensive ($90).
