I have a pretty old computer and TV (specs on link). I'd like to display the computers image on my TV's screen. My graphic card has S-Video, DVI and VGA output.
The TV's resolution is 1366x768 and has the following inputs:
Input/Output: AV1:AV In, TV Out, RGB In, AV2:AV In/Out, S-Video In, Q-Link AV4: AV In/out, s-video+RGB in, Q-Link, AV3 (front): RCA AV in, 4pin S-Video In
I don't have to worry about outputting the sound through the TV since my computer already are connected to a pair of speakers.
My question is now: what's the best way to connect these two? S-Video might be an obvious choice - but I read somewhere that the max resolution was limited to approximately 800x400?
I'm highly appreciating all answers - I'm everything but an expert within this area. Sorry if it's placed in the wrong SE section.
Answer
Is there any benefit from using this instead of S-Video at both ends?
Transfer of data will take place and the speed of the slowest medium. So even if RCA has quality benefits over S-Video you won't gain them.
However there's no line to carry audio on S-Video for example, where as RCA has an input for it. So I believe if you did S-Video/S-Video you'd be unable to send audio to your TV speakers.
