    S Video Out to Big Screen HELP!

    I just moved an old 50" big screen into my room next to my computer and hooked it up via S-Video out. I can't seem to get the resolution for the TV right, is there anyway to resize it so it will fit? I run my 17" monitor at 1280 x 1024 and when I put the TV at this resolution it still cuts off a lot of the viewing area.

    Your best bet is to get Powerstrip and play with the screen resolution.
    With powerstrip you can set any resolution you want.

    Hmm, the resolution to a TV is pretty bad from a Generic Video Card to the TV. I have an All-In-Wonder and i have High Definition outputs, so it looks crisp.
