    Hi,

    The S-Video on my XPS is a 7-pin slot. My question is, if it can display 720p using my S-Video to Red, Blue, Green adapter that came with my GeForce 7600gt card. I already tried, and the only problem was that some greens looked redish and I wasn't sure if it was really 720p, because I was using standard RCA cable(Red/White audio, Yellow video) because I didn't have a proper component cable at hand. It was connected correctly because I double checked that white was to green, red to red, and blue to yellow. Maybe this color problems was the use of improper cables with limited bandwidth?

    Thanks for any help

    S-video is meant for SD signals, not HD.
