I recently bought the gateway "media center" package with 42" plasma TV. The PC comes with the nVidia GeForce4 MX440 video card. I have connected the video card both to the RGB input on the TV, and to the S-video input. In the RGB mode, the picture is very clear (although large, you have to use 800 x 600 resolution), but in S-video mode, the picture is very blurry. I have checked the S-video cable and it's fine. I have connected my s-video out from my digital camcorder to the TV and it is fine, and I have connected a different computer's s-video out to the TV, and it is also blurry. Do I need a higher powered graphics card or what. Any ideas??? Thanks

Doesn't your plasma TV have a 15-pin input for a regular monitor cable? I'm sure it does (I have a samsung plasma tv, and it has it on the bottom). If you're using both a regualr PC monitor and the tv, use MX440's nView feature. I've always found using a regular monitor cable to be clearer than using a s-video cable.
