[mythtv-users] which is better, using S-Video or VGA?

Of course, you're correct and I agree with you that displaying non-TV
output is far superior on a monitor.

I was talking about the quality of the TV picture. The fast response
time of the picture on a monitor is actually a disadvantage when
displaying a 25Hz interlaced TV picture, especially for things like
scrolling text and fast action, where the blurring caused by the slow
refresh on a TV make the moving picture appear smoother.

This is all just my opinion. I've also never investigated high end
equipment because I don't have that kind of cash to spend on a TV, so
it's possible that none of this applies to expensive equipment, though
it has to be said, I still think the picture on the (much cheaper)
CRTs in the TV shop is better than the LCD and plasma screens.

cheers
Andrew
