49839	2002-05-20 21:24:00	Hey all, Just a few questions... I have bought this graphics card, but upon closer inspection, it doesn't have an 's-video' out function.... the computer store guy told me that some cards did, and some didn't and it was only the deluxe option of the card which has the 's-video out' already available. Now in order to get s-video, I will have to buy a product called 'TV-View PC to TV Converter' to get this function which basically costs the difference between a Ti 4600 and a Ti 4400.... Is there a loss in quality going from the DV-I Dual Link output into this TV-View PC to TV Converter, and then going from 's-video out' on the converter to the 's-video in' of my TV?? Btw, in buying this product, I am told that I will not be able to have separate images on my tv and monitor... ie., I can't have a dvd playing onto my tv through my comp, while working on it at the same time... Apparently the product only duplicates whatever image is on your computer monitor... Should I ask them to replace the card with the other Ti4400 card which has s-video out already available? Does it drain my resources to play a DVD through s-video out onto my tv, while multi-tasking (surfing the net, etc) and doing stuff on my desktop monitor? They say I shouldn't really multi-task as it is quite draining on my system resources... Are they telling me the WHOLE truth or just partial truths?? Some help would be appreciated as I don't want to pay for another product if I can stop it. Cheers, Lo.	Guest (0)

Don't know about the PC view card - but sounds good, because I have tried to get both screens to show the same thing. I'd get the upgraded version if possible. Games on TV are quite hard on the eyes.
