Me Again, same project....Best TV-Out for the price?

[scarfase99]

Ok, so as much as i worked to finally get it to work, im quite disgruntled that i can't JUST use the television as the monitor, as my Divx movies won't work on DualHead Clone, only when it's set to DVDMax. SOOOO...i'm lookin to get a good card with TV-Out. In case u guys don't remember my last thread, this is for a DIVX Entertainment PC only. Here are the specs:

AMD K6-2 500
512mb Ram
5gb HD
MATROX G450 16mb AGP DualHead
40X SCSI CD-rom

So what's the best TV-Out card for the price...not lookin to spend too much. i checked NewEgg & these seemed to be nice: ATI OEM RADEON 7000 VE 32MB DDR W/TVATI RADEON 7000 for $43, or the 64meg version for $47. Or what about the Hercules Prophet II MX?

lmk guys! thanks

The Kyro II is supposed to have some really good TV out.

the new Kyro II se (or whatever) has some nice specs on TV-out..

otherwise a ATI choice (at least Radeon or higher) is your best bet.

STAY AWAY FROM NVIDIA FOR TV-OUT!!!

a guy offered me the Hercules Geforce2 MX DDV....comments on it's quality on TVOUT?

Even though the deal isnt on anymore, I feel obligate to defend my card =)
Using tv tool: [tvtool]http://www.tvtool.de/index_e.htm[/L] the Tvout is exceptional, with the only problem of not being able to use twinview features, which kinda sucks. I've now moved on to watching my divx with a riva 128 pci on a projector =).


Good luck with the Tvout scarface.

the ECS SiS 315 card at newegg has tv-out on it. not sure as to the quality of it but it sure is cheap.

well, i went with a Dell OEM GeForce2 MX 32mb AGP w/ TV-out, so hopefully we'll see how the quality is. btw, would it be worth overclocking it? i know it's easy, just don't know if it'd make a difference for watchin divx.

If you are only going to watch divx dont overclock at all.

I have a Videologic VividXS Kyro 2 with tv out and the quality is amazing and with no black borders too.
From what I've heard the tv output quality of the new Kyro 2 SE is supposed to be even better! 🙂
