Picture in Picture hdtv only?

[John Michael]

OK, here is my problem! I have a Panasonic 1080i HDTV which I'm trying
to use as a monitor. I'm using a Geforce4 MX 420 with S-video out.
When I am connected through the S-video, I get a picture in very poor
quality with little color. However, when I switch the tv to Picture
and picture mode and put the windows desktop as the secondary picture
the color is fine and the picture looks good...until I swap back of
course, then its the same problem all over again! Any help to get it
working right would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

you'll never get good results with s-video if you're aiming to use it as a
monitor.
you should be connecting via VGA or better still DVI/HDMI
