Any way to make TV-Out less fuzzy?

[datalink7]

Hi all,

My monitor just broke, and while I am waiting for my new one I thought I would try my TV-Out on my geforce 3. Well, it works but the image is pretty sh!tty. I can barely read text, though full screne muvies and such I can see fiarly well.

Any way to make the image better? It is just a cheap (though pretty new. Less than one year) 19" TV.

Thanks for any help

not that i know of. first time i saw tv-out was from a tnt2 ultra. i've heard those cards sucked for tv-out. then i read about how ati's was supposed to be pretty good. so when i got my radeon vivo... i tested it out. it still sucked. then i got my radeon 8500. guess what? it still sucked. i think if u plan on using ur tv as a temp monitor replacement... text and desktop will be blurry (even at lower resolutions). the only thing that i find tv-out remotely useful for is watch divx.

Alright, thanks for the reply (which took me like 5 minutes to figure out what the words were lol).

I got a 15" sitting here that I guess I will switch back to, sine I can't clear up the TV any.

I think the TV out is really meant for showing images or movies in dual mode. TVs just don't have the resolution necessary to be used as a monitor unless you're talking commodore 64 big ol' grandpa block letters.

I know you aren't talking about the TV quality but it's still worth mentioning. I bought the original 2 MB ATI all in wonder and I don't think the TV tuner was changed for years, if at all. The picture quality is pretty much the same.
