RE: OT TV Out Graphics cards

["Phil Harris" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Taking PC graphics into a TV by UHF will be *REALLY* pants - remember
what a BBC micro looked like if you tried to do Mode 0 (80 column text)
on a TV and you'll get the idea. (UHF = lowest quality signal format
that's out there.)

PC graphics, TVs and "decent quality" do not go hand in hand I'm
afraid...
