ATi Radeon 9550

[pcll99]

I just brought a ATI Radeon 9550. I have a VGA Monitor and my TV connected to it. I am using the S-Video connector on the card to connect to the TV. But the TV only has a composite/RCA connector. So I use a S-Video to RCA cable.

On the VGA Monitor, everything looks fine. But the quality of the video (whether I am playing a DVD or a MPEG4 file) is not good on the TV.

When I connect my Philips stand-alone DVD player to my TV using the same cable (ie, S-Video to RCA), the picture looks perfectly fine.

I tried tuning the Radeon card (eg, resolution, NTSC vs PAL, flickering, contrast/brightness, gamma), but to no avail. I don't know why the Radeon produces this awful quality on the TV. May be I am not tuning the card right.

I did the same thing with another card: nVidia GeForce FX5900Z.... same result...

Any help please..
