Subject: RE: [ukha_d] Re: Composite vs
S-video out from a PC?
If
the TV doesnt support S-Video there is no point using the S-Video out. If
you
used it straight you would get a B&W picture, if you use a passive
combiner it wont be any better than what you currently
have.
The
quality of the TV affects the image as well, cheaper TV's dont have such
high
quality tubes and the shadowmask is not as fine as a high end TV. (Think of
it
as similar to the dot pitch on a monitor). The tube may simply not have the
resolution. What size is the TV?
If
the TV does RGB you MAY be able to get an RGB output from the VGA
socket.
When
I choose TV mode on my ATI Rage Fury the Sony Monitor drops back to an
interlaced 50 Hz picture just like a TV needs. There is an option to output
Composite Sync from the VGA port as well.
Its
one of those things I keep meaning to try but havent got round to yet
:-(

If the TV Scart does S-video then it
should be much better. I have an
old P233 PC next to our TV for my
daughter to play games on and the S-
video picture is a lot sharper than
the composite.
Scart is just a plug. It can carry composite, RGB,
S-video and
combinations thereof, in both directions.
I think
that if the TV only does RGB and composite you will get a B&W
picture.
