    Tvs if they are not high definition run at 480 horizontal pixels. MOst HDTVs run at 720 horzontal pixels. On top of that regular Tvs produce every other pixel on the TV at a time. So it tends to get blurry when it interlaces. It will produce lines 2,4,6,8... all the way to line 480 and then it will start at 1,3,5... Composit shows all 480 in order so it doesnt tend to blur. That or all the Ki waves you sent out must have taken some enrgy out of the TV. You gotta stop turning supersaijin when watching Hardball or Crossfire.

    For me it was hard to read text It has to be fairly large to see it. Plus TV's run at a lower resolution so decreasing it will make your text larger and easier to read. Using a different cable like a composite won't help as far as that goes. My only suggestion is to lower the resolution being put out from your video card or make the font bigger.

    positioned your old card returned in and spot if each thing is okay. if so then maybe the recent card desires extra ability than your equipment can produce. you may actually have a bad video card yet it quite is way less probably than basically having too small a ability grant. you probably did no longer supply sufficient suggestions to permit me to grant an somewhat sturdy answer. it might help to understand what form video card, what length ability grant, what variety of computing device etc..

    Depending on what you are trying to do, you might want to check out Windows Media Center edition. I only played around with it for a short time, but it seemed to be pretty decent in some aspects.
