I just bought a new Dell XPS "Media Center" system. I'm using it as a
"true media center", the computer hooks up to my home entertainment
system via SVideo and RCA for both in/out. The computer came with
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE.
For some reason the display on the TV is terrible. The fonts are almost
unreadable. It also seems that everytime I run the Media Center app it
changes the display settings. If I run Media Center in full screen mode
I just get a flickering screen.
However, the Media Center demo video (the Pool Party) shows up awesome
and clear. Also, if I go to youtube.com or play videos full screen from
music.yahoo.com they also look wonderful.
So, why is the display so bad for the standard window's stuff? My
display settings are defaulted to "Default Monitor" and I've tried
every setting possible 640x480 is almost readable. I also noticed that
the only refresh rate I can select is 60Hz, could this be wrong for a
TV?
1) Is there a special driver I should download if I'm using the SVideo
output for a TV
2) Does this standard video card just not work well with a TV??
