An lcd tv displaying text is different from a crt tv displaying text. | |

But still. TV's aren't designed for text. You will have a hard job reading anything on one. | |

s-video is one of the worst connections you can use for this sort of thing. | |

but its not so good for all uses as you say innit... i connected it to my old tv via s-video -> component and whilst it was fine for watching mpgs you couldnt really read anything on screen | |

use a VGA to VGA connection if your TV has that. You might have to fiddle with the settings on the TV to get it looking right (sometimes the colours can be off and the image won't fill up all of the screen). | |

TV's are often no good for reading stuff off of as they are designed to be looked at from a distance. | |

Im thinking about getting a 27inch samsung LCD , later on next year i was thinking about getting another pc and rigging it up. Will my new pc have to have a Graphics card? or would it be best to just buy a media centre? | |

TVs are a bit funny about running different resolutions, compared to monitors which are designed to work at many different resolutions. There's the refresh rate to take into account if you're using a VGA connection, too. | |

providing the graphics card you have isnt good enough, it wont damage the screen will it? | |

Then yeah, the 5200 should be able to handle it. You might want to think about an upgrade to the card though for better performance if you're using it for games. | |

It depends what resolution the TV supports, and which card it is. | |

I've got a 19" Monitor/PC, just uses the usual VGA cable to connect it to the PC. | |
