Hey everyone, I have a Radeon 9800 PRO 128 MB card and I want to use TV out. I have a TV but the quality isnt that good, or maybe thats how it will always be, What is the best setup for using a TV as your monitor (like which cables, type of adapter should I use S-video or is there ways to use actual monitor cables and what not) and what would be the best TV to use when using TV out. also if this quality is the only quality I can get is ther a way to make the text more readable without lowering screen resolution?

If it's a tube TV then there isn't much you can do, as I believe tube TV's have max resolutions of 640x480. They aren't really meant to be computer monitors. If you want a good TV/PC monitor get a LCD or Plasma TV that can support high resolutions and has VGA or DVI inputs.

Also S-video is pretty mediocre, just one step above old analog video.
