Improving tv-out picture quality?

[therock001]

I use the tv-out feature of my graphics card in order to view videos on my 29'' TV.

But pixels and flaws are very noticeable.How can i improve the quality.I'm using ffdshow,dscaler and reclock,but i have not achieved anything.

Can i get some help here?

Use good A/V cable. i suggest monster cables, theyre gold plated.
and dont put ur cable on sockets. plug it in directly to tv. disturbence can also cause pixlization flicker etc.

Cables won't do much to help unless for very long runs.

What display card are you using?

All display card "TV output" is scaled. Some cards do better than others but you are looking at ~640x480 quality in the end.

S-video should look better than composite.

I run my standard TV out from s-video to my iScan HD+ scaler (scaled to 1080i) then to my 56 inch 1080p DLP and the picture quality is much improved.

I'm experimenting with the ATI 550 tuner to ATI 9550 w/HDTV adapter upscaled to 1080i to the HDTV with YPbPr.

NTSC tuner (ABC) input to 1080i upscale through ATI 9550 (Theater 200) -- ok to good. The internal analog channel upscale on the HDTV is much sharper.

720p off cable HDTV tuner to HDTV -- simply superb, great !
