Well I have the same video card as you and I have a y adapter for either =
Y/C (S-video) or composite video (RCA)...not all Gforce 2MX have this. I =
don't notice much difference in quality. There isn't a way of converting =
the signal without building some hardware for this (not worth it), if =
your Geforce doesn't output it already. Your best bet is to use the nvtv =
driver and play around with flicker filter and such.
thanks,
Chris

I know this question isn't directly myth related, but most of us will =
have=20
dealt with the TV out options of our video cards.
I am running a GeForce 2 MX 200 with TV out. The TV out is an SVideo=20
connection. If you want to use the RCA connection, there is a cable =
adapter=20
to connect to the card allowing the use of the RCA cable.
Just wondering if there is a significant quality difference with =
SVideo over=20
the RCA. For movies my RCA connection is ok, but for the X desktop, =
you see a=20
lot of noise.
Any comments/ideas to clean this up.
