Arrow Blurry?

I just got a 19" flat screen HD tv and i have pluggeg it into the computer via s-video but its blurry?
is there anyway i can make it clear?
the tv does have a standard moniter/vga imput so if i dont get any luck with the s-video then i will have to get myself a vga cable.
Cheers guys
Ross.

you need to go into the colour mode setting for the video out put of your graphics card and change it.

Go with VGA, S-Video is only a small step up from regular composhite video (composite video to you lot)
What is the native resolution of the monitor?

Did this for the eldest over crimbo combined flat plate TV, DV , Audio ect ect.
Just hook up with the VGA cable works a treat. but note the range of resolution & refresh rates as laid out in the TV handbook coz it all goes to pot outside of those ranges.

Go with the VGA, and set your pc video card to 1400 x 900 (thats a standard ratio, so your card should list it) no point in running any higher, coz the monitor will just be reducing it again (more processing) to fit it's own display panel.

don't bother with any form of composite vid, it's shite.

If you can wait a few days, these are the cheapest around by far, and they're local to you.
They're not really retail, but i'm sure you could make a cal, pop in & drop some cash.

£2.80+vat for a 2 metre male/male VGA
