TV-Out

[MZGuy]

I'm using a Geforce 2 MX with TV-out for watching movies and play games on the TV-screen (PAL).<br>I'm now using the A/V cables cuz they were bundled with the card. How much of an improvement in picture quality will I get if I connect it with a S-video cable instead?

[Moose or Chuck]

The differences between A/V and S-Video is like the difference between a sharp, hifi 1600x1200 image and an 2X FSAA 800x600 image, 16x16 being S-Video. It's much sharper, the colors don't bleed into each other, and the edges of things stay as an edge. You'll be amazed. It's worth the extra price.

hey, i wonder, is there any tool that lets you do vid out on a ppc. U know how kick ass that would be. I could have a dvd player in my pocket.

[Moose or Chuck]

I'm sure there will be. And on most HPCs there are VGA ports to go out to a monitor. All we'd need is a cool CF or PC Card. They make PC Cards, but you'd have to get drivers.

Yeah, I've seen the PC-card SVGA that works with PocketPC. I don't remember seeing anything for standard video output to a TV.

[Moose or Chuck]

well, if i can set the resolution on the pc card, it'll work. I already have one of those cool external TV out things. You just plug it into the Monitor out, and then set the resolution to 640/480 and poof. Plug it in.

[Moose or Chuck]

Chuck, is that like a cable converter type thing? Where'd you get it. I want the infoz man, hook me up.

[randall]

As far as I can tell, you can't set the resolution with the PC-Card I've been looking at. The display area is the entire PPC screen.<br><br>I don't think it supports landscape mode, which would be a VERY handy feature since most monitors and TVs are horizontal.

Colorgraphic Voyager VGA PC Card...<br>Type II PC Cards supports iPAQ via PC Card Expansion pack.. (I'm guessing that the @migo will work too).

[Moose or Chuck]

well, if you set it with Jimmy's Landscape to 640/480 landscape wouldn't that work? I mean it just takes whats on the screen. And moose, i bought this second hand. Its a TView Micro. Its a cheap version, i think. It only does vga 640/480. you can Get one that does XVGA at 1024/768. Its a little box that sits next to my computer. Its really cool. Check out there website at http://www.focusenhancements.com/ It does S-video and RCA. Its really cool because its small, and can be connected t o any computer, all u do is install the drivers, and plug in and go.

[Moose or Chuck]

well how about this, get chris to email them, and send me a promo. Then i'll test it and post a review. I'd also need that cf-Pcmcia card thingy from brighthand. But if you got me tha card, i'd spend 50 for the converter.

[jongjungbu]

I wish there was a PCMCIA tv tuner card that i could use for my pocketpc. that would be most worthy.<br>i also wish there were drivers for my pccard adapted cddrive so i could access cdroms with it. but oh well.<br>

[Matt Keys]

Gimme links on where to buy all this stuff and if it doesnt cost a fortune i'l buy it and review it.
