I am trying to use a 52" panasonic plasma tv as a monitor for a Dell PC via s-video because the TV does not have a VGA input. P4, Windows XP, 1GB of Ram.
The video card is a Geforce FX5200 with dual vga output and s-video, I also have the latest nvidia drivers for this video card.
I have a LCD set up beside the tv temporarily while I am trying to configure the TV monitor, the LCD is plugged into the stock display adapter.
The issue is the resolution or the size of the image displayed on the TV. The quality of the image is not what I am worried about that is actually pretty good.
The image will not align correctly, imagine your screen size is 52" but the image outputted by the graphics card via s-video being like 100+". It is simply too big to fit on the screen.
For choices of resolutions on in the windows settings and in the nvidia control planel I can choose from 640x480, 800x600, or 1024x768 however it will not accept 1024x768 it just reverts back.
I don't understand why I am unable to choose a higher or maybe even a resolution, it seems as if maybe the graphics card doesn't support an appropriate resolution for s video, because I am able to use an hdmi connection with my laptop to the tv perfectly but s video for my desktop does not display correctly at all.
Is there any other kind of software I could use, I somehow need to shrink the image by about 50%.
Thanks
