[QUOTE="Mr T, post: 34957, member: 18139"] Hi, I am thinking of turning my existing PC into a HTPC. Its spec is Athlon 64 3200+ MSI RS480 mobo 1Gb RAM X600 pro no TV card at present As a test to see what Divx playback was like on my TV i connected the pc up using the svideo connection. The picture quality was really bad, much worse than my modded xbox playing the same divx's. It also would not display in 16:9 widescreen, in fact WinXP wouldn't even let me set my resolution to anything other than the standard 4:3 resolutions (640x480, 800x600 etc) My TV is a panasonic tx32pl10 (a 32inch widescreen CRT) and has a great picture when playing DVD's etc from 'normal' consumer electronics devices. Is TV out always this bad from a PC to a non HDTV? Its a bit of a show stopper as i cant watch TV with a picture that bad. Mr T [/QUOTE]
