Well, my experience with using the tv-out on an EPIA-M board is that the 
picture quality is fine. Admittedly, I'm using the s-video port and NOT 
the composite port, as this does have poorer quality. I really see not 
problems with the quality from the s-video. Of course, the TV you use 
has a lot to do with it - mine is a high-end 32" widescreen with a 100Hz 
refresh and lots of built in digital signal processing, so maybe its 
cleaning up the signal somewhat...
