USB TV-OUT (Possible?)

[ddouglass]

Use S-video to RCA and directly into TV without the RF modulator. That should clear up the display. Also make sure you set the second monitor to extended rather than duplicate.

Hey All,
It stands to reason that the more bits and pieces you run through, the more the sound and picture will almost certainly get further degraded.
ddouglass is certainly right, S-video to RCA direct should give best results.
Regards from across the pond.

Computer s-video coaxial TV
Computer s-video rca TV

(Not to mention whatever processes the TV goes through with RCA or Coaxial inputs)

When I was at Fry's today and purchased my RF Modulator I didn't see any converter that took s-video input and gave RCA output. Even if I did, I might still be making the same purchase. (At my church, for instance, some of the TV's don't even take RCA inputs) But I will have my eyes open. Fry's has a liberal return policy.

Radio Shack has both types of cables. Since the laptop has an S-Video out it already converts signal to TV so you don't need an RF Modulator to convert the signal.

For the TV's that have s-video, certainly no converter is necesary.

[ddouglass]

If a TV is capable of RCA input like from a VCR or DVD player then they are capable of taking the output fram the laptop. If all it has is the coax input then you will need the RF Modulator to convert to coax, but the pivture will be greatly reduced in sharpness.

as DALE DOUGLAS mentioned make sure that your second monitor
is set to extended (under your video card properities)

also, you set set the ressolution lower on the 2nd output, this
will also help to give youa clear picture.

there's no reason even though a RF MOD that your image shouldnt
be pretty clear, also make sure any coax cables you are using are
good (ie: no bent stinger)
