In the past I've connected my pc to my tv using the svideo but have always found it bothersome and the quality is not much good (fuzzy, when i can get it from black & white :lol: )
I've noticed that my new telly has a vga connection. My question is, if i connect to that will it be a good picture and would i be able to use a vga splitter with a 5m long vga cable? or would it be better to use a vga to hdmi adapter?
thanks in advance

Just have to set the right PAL/NTSC setting.
Also bare in mind a normal TV (not a HD or HD Ready) has a resolution of 720 x 486, without "set" pixels but pixels that are kind of projected on the screen by the proton cannon in the TV. It'll be fine for video, but unless you go HDTV you'll never be able to read any small text on it.

Speaking of Devon, he came on to our GG for a while yesterday. He's still pretty good at CS:S despite playing so much WoW
