TV Picture Quality

[Fozzee]

Hi
I have followed the various guides but was just wondering.........
How good should my picture be???
ECS K75SA Mobo
Athlon XP 1700+
Geforce2 Mx 400 64MB(no overlay support)
512MB Sdram
AverTV Studio Tv Card
43GB Hard Drives Space

The picture is OK but has some fog on it. I have to turn saturation down low to get a clear picture. I have tried a booster this helped slightly. The capture side of things is ok. I am using PowerVCR as it is more versatile than my card software. When it captures the picture is often more smoother than the view I was getting on my screen. I then encode using TMPGEnc. Anyway going back to my actual question. HOW GOOD should my picture on screen be (I am viewing in 1024 x 768 )???

Cheers

In order to quantify picture quality, which established standard of measurement do you prefer to use?

Hi
I obviously sounded like I knew what I was talking about BUT I DON'T !! HeHe. I've had the card 3 days but have been playing with it 24/7.
I'm not sure what I should be comparing it too. For example the viewable image isn't as good as good quality DivX movie. probably not as good as video either. have u any tips for improving the signal into the card?? Should the view be as good as on a normal TV. Sorry if I'm rambling but it's hard to explain.

Cheers

P.S. I have downloaded better mpegs which have obviously been made by other home users.
