    ATI Radeon S-Video Settings?

    Hey there everyone,
    I am looking to hook my computer up to my 27" Toshiba TV. I always have trouble seeing everything though. I have an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro graphics card. Are there any settings i can change besides that resolution of the screen and the DPI?

    Thanks everyone,
    Ben

    Ben

    I dont have your video card but cant see why not. I have half the video card and a slightly bigger TV with s-video, and it works. Its not the highest resolution I ever saw but good enough I forget Im not watching TV. One thing I found handy with IM sure you know about is the Win Key +P key to switch between screens or to dup screens

    Good luck and let us know how it goes

    May need to set it to a lower resolution. What resolution is it set to for the TV?

    Think you will find that you are running into what has pretty much gone on with CRT TV's for a long time when hooked up to a computer; they may be OK for watching movies/video, but resolution/refresh rate that they run at pretty much sucks for anything else.
