Right click on your desktop Go to Properties Settings (and adjust the screen resolution on that page)
Assuming that you are using windows XP.Vista is similar.
S-video is a LOW DEFINITION connection, an obsolete composited format from the days of old analog low-def boob-tube TVs. It can only transmit low resolutions, which is why your desktop area is so small and the icons so big.
In other words, S-video is garbage.
You want a better image, you need a better-quality connection like VGA, DVI or HDMI. Those are high-definition connections.
Has the computer your going to purchase bypass provisions for a docking station or a port replicator? Which basically turns it into computer mode by stand and time-honored keyboard, in any different case it ain't so clever?
