Page 1 of can some one please tell me how to conect my pc to my tv

im simply trying to connect my pc to my tv so i can watch movies on the big screen
i have p3 and im using gforce4 ti 4200 which has a s-video tv out but when i connect to my 32" hitachi via the s-video input the the picture is grey and garbled i`ve tried all the diplay settings and the lowest refresh rates but with no sucess.

can you help??

have you made sure that your av input is selected for s-vhs? rather than rgb, that can cause picture distortion and loss of colour

yes i tried that but still the same..

thanx for trying though..

Is it a foreign DVD - ie NTSC format. Maybe your TV can only do PAL?

I think that would be because your video card supports macrovision so all playing of DVDs results in this being lobbed out as well on the TV out.
Though I might be wrong unless you`re not connected direct to the TV and trying to feed it straight through a video player as well so as not to have to unplug the scart.
I can`t play some DVDs coz the players refuse to play copyright material on cards that don`t support macrovision and the only solution would be to use earlier nvidia drivers that don`t include this option.
