Well, its not really cost effective but a VGA to RGB transcoder would work. But most are about $200. Probably better to just buy a vid card.

Most newer HDTV's have VGA inputs. So all you really need is just a vga to vga cable.
Pretty soon though, I'm upgrading to a HDMI-Out card which will look stellar.

I didn't like using S-Video with my computer, it didn't look right.

Was it just overscanning or was the picture actually messed up?

The text came out really blurry.
I fucked with the settings but I couldn't get it to look right.

Well other than it not outputting to the correct resolution of your tv and that being the cause of the poor picture your guess is as good as mine. If the tv is 720P try setting the resolution to 1280x720 on your pc or 1920x1080 for 1080p. I am sure you though of that already but just a suggestion.

Thats interesting.
Theoretically, the TV should up/downconvert whatever signal it is receiving to its native resolution anyway.

I am assuming that upconversion/downconversion is what is causing his text distortion.
