tv-out/s-video lookt bad!

user2233 · 2008-01-16, 19:52

hello i have a shuttle media center pc.
I have a new geforce fx 5200 into it.
I use s-video connection to connect it with my tv, its a crt tv. so i have no other option.

but the quality is very bad,
if i play a movie on it, its like theres a "photoshop"filter over it.
if i turn the "flickerfilter"of, then it becomes a bit sharper but then everything becomes unreadable, and i get a very strange screen.

I have the lastest drivers for my videocard..
if i make a screenshot and watch it on my other pc, everything is fine.
so it must be the tv-out connection.
I have also tryed different cables.

Here are some pictures taken with my digital camera, but now the media center is connected on a lcd tv.
the results are the same as the crt tv so thats no problem.
