TV Out?

[CompSci]

Can a Conventional TV ever be a satisfactory Monitor?

I've run TV Out successfully from my ATI Vidio card, but
for anything other than 640/480 or gamein(800/600) it's really a bad grainy picture!

For computer work/text/web sutfing at 800/600 its barely readable, at 1024/768 forget it, it aint legable... I get color ok(either 16 or 256 only) but real grainy and not a acceptable image... a 19 or 20" is better than a 26 or 32".

Can ya ever get a good 1024/768 or above image on a TV?
Does HDTV do any beter and how much better?

HDTV should be better, but you have to have an HDTV capable card. The only one on the market right now is the Radeon 8500 and AIW Radeon 8500dv. Even these require a seperate converter (or dongle) and some software that ATI hasn't released yet.

A standard TV is 720X 480/576 pixels.
it's not enogth for high quality computer monitors that are curently going over the 1600X1200.
