First problem - you have a card that doesn't exist.

If you're using S-Video and the image is black-and-white, you either have a bad cable, or the video card is set to output over composite rather than S-Video (should be an option for it in Catalyst Control Center).

Obviously, S-video will look like crap on a 50" LCD-TV, but that's to be expected. Use component or DVI/HDMI and set it for the panel's native resolution if you want it to look good. If you need details on how to do this for your TV, check out AVSForum and see if they have a thread for your particular model.
