<P nd="1">There's probably little you can do to improve the image quality. Several things are at work here. The resolution you're feeding out of the S-Video port is, at best, 800-by-600. That means the HDTV has to scale the image up, and that may degrade the image quality. The video-encoder <A class="iAs" href="%23" target="_blank" itxtdid="2471558">chip</A> in many laptops usually does a relatively poor job of encoding video.</p> <P>
</P><P nd="2">Many HDTVs have VGA or DVI inputs, which can take a <A class="iAs" href="%23" target="_blank" itxtdid="2592432">PC</A> signal directly. But if yours doesn't, a better solution would be to get a VGA-to-component-video dongle, such as the Audio Authority Model 9A60 (<A target="_new" href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/htp://www.audioauthority.com">www.audioauthority.com</A>). That way, you can get much better image quality. </p> </SPAN>
