    I'm not really sure where to post this, so since I have a Dell I'll put it here. Unless a moderator wants to move it to a more proper place. :)
    I have an E1705, and my brother has a huge flatscreen tv (50 some inches) that has s-video in. My question is, is the quality alright? I will have to buy an s-video adapter, but it's either that, or getting a much larger monitor. My 19 inch monitor seems to be getting smaller these days. :D
    Can you advise me please? Thanks. :)

    S-Video is OK, but VGA is even better.

    I just imagine BF2 on a 50 inch flatscreen, ahhhh the goodness. :D
    Newer tv's have VGA input?? His is older, not an LCD. Only s-video and RCA input jacks. :(

    S-Video will be 640×480 resolution, but as long as you're willing to play a game at that resolution, you'll be fine.
