Checking for the latest information on what technology is available to direct PC video output to large screen TV set.

Any information is appreciated!

most any video card comes with s-video out now. I would say any ATI video card would be great. I have an nvidia with tv-out but the ATI in my sister's puts out a much crisper picture than mine. If you're on a budget I would suggest the radeon 7500 or the radeon 8500LE.

Also keep in mind most TV's have a very low refresh rate/resolution

Probably S-video (card to TV). Or, S-video to RCA.

Cool

Has anyone every tried products sold by Keystone? They make several PnP models of PCtoTV converters that are supposed to handle different resolutions.
