TV-Out Question

Are there any video cards out there that let you set the resolution of the TV-Out signal? At home I have a Palitdaytona GeForce 2, and the only setting I can have for TV-Out is 800x600. And it sucks. Also the top of the picture curves in toward the centre slightly, and the image doesnt go all the way to the edges. Any cards that can let you control this (preferably GeForce 4 series, but any advice will do.)

Like you need higher or lower res. My Geforce 4 4200 TI (Gainward) can go to 640x480 as well. If you're looking for 320x240, I don't know about that.

On my XP Machine I can use 720x480 with my TV Out using my Geforce 4 MX 420 PCI.
In control panel, display properties, settings, advanced (with tv selected), adapter tab, List All Modes...
In that box I could choose 420x480, 32bit color, 60Hertz.. Theres other ways to hack your pc into doing this I hear online. It looks good and it cuts off the bars on the sides and stuff like a normal TV's overscan..

I know with some ati cards you can edit one of the driver files to add more res's, but of course that isn't always good.

In the box I chose 720x480* (The same res. the video I am using was in and what tv's use and all that other good stuff). but my hardware supports it, and its on a tv so its cool. altho becareful about messin with this especially on ur main screen like Pwolf mentioned, it can screw up your monitor if you try to put it at a res/rate it cannot display

Ahh... Well, like I said I have a GeForce 2 (MX440 I think) that runs in the AGP slot, b'coz AGP is better than PCI...

But I'll have a look for those settings. I havnt seen them before, but maybe I wasn't looking in the right place. Thanx anyway.

I think powerstrip will solve your problem

ooh! that powerstrip thingy looks good!! A little complicated and I'm afraid of fucking my video card up but.....

Oh, I found those options in the display settings, 800x600 32 bit colour 60hz is my maximum option and theres no way around it!! Does this powerstrip thingy override that?

Shit! Powerstrip still doesnt allow me to tweak it.

Just a thought, the TV itself can't supply an upper limit to its res settings can it? Mine is a Sony 60cm Flatscreen Trinitron (can't remember serial number right now) so I would've thought it would be able to handle a resolution above 800x600.

And apologies for the necropost, I just want to know if i should bother investing in a new video card, if it isnt the TV itself causing the problem.

It's the card rather than the TV. I run my TV out at 1024x768.
