S Video Cable

I am getting an s video cable so I can connect my graphics card to my tv but I am not sure what socket it will go into the tv... any tips on what to look for

do you have the three AV plugs on your TV?

you're supposed to plug the s-video into a composite extension, then into the yellow plug on the AV in on the TV. like

if you don't have the AV ports you can buy a scart adapter that turns your scart into an AV adapter. you'll probably already have one because most games console have one.

well looks like my tv doesnt have an s/video (PIECE OF S***) so I need to get one that connect to scart instead of s/video (does anybody know the name of it?)

use an s-video-to-scart adapter, then.

this should work.

this should be okay, too.

i doubt it has much to do with s-video being inferior or superior to scart... as far as i can tell, it's just two different methods of delivering the same type of signal. it's just that different regions use different connection types in order to limit the import/export of TVs & video equipment. and then PC video cards are also designed primarily with the u.s.a. & asian markets in mind, unfortunately for u.k. people. it'd be a bit unwieldy to put a scart connector on video cards, anyway, considering many of 'em already have VGA & DVI on 'em, there's just no room for scart in addition to those. so... just use an adapter.

u need to get an S-Video to VIdeo cable dude, I dont think many TV's S-Video in... u get e converter which is pretty cheap...
