S-video

[Calibretto]

Could I plug my 53" standard def TV into my computer using S-video? Would it blow my video card?

Your video card will definitely blow.

Your video card will definitely blow.

What ARE you talking about...

In answer to you're question, yes, of course you can, it's standard definition which would mena it operates at a "normal" resolution, hence your vid card will do it fine... There isnt an instance, anywhere, anytime EVER that plugging a TV into your graphics card would make it blow up...

Your video card will definitely blow.

If you were trying to be funny then I think you need to step out more.

um ok I think I'll believe dragon on this one. I'll be doing some hard core gaming over spring break and need a big viewing area.

Haha, you'll be fine Just don't expect very good quality. 720x480 stretched out to 53"? Ew...

if as benign a remark as my own is grounds for aspersion, i may suggest you do the same

How would 1024x768 look?

 

[heyman421]

bad....

blurry

you def. wanna use something with a horizontal resolution of 480

The vertical is flexible, but you'll notice more and more jagged edges and other artifacts the higher you go.

 

[The_Other_One]

Regardless what resolution you set your computer to, the output is limited to 720x480(or you could just say 480i) Plus, your computer is not interlaced(progressive if you will) where the TV IS interlaced. That conversion causes more quality loss...

alright, I'll remember that.
