2001FP S-Video with GeForce 3?
I just got a 2001FP for xmas from wifey. (Yay). I have two machine, neither has DVI. Since my GeForce 3 has S-Video out and my new 2001FP has S-Video in, does anyone know how well it would work if I used that connection instead of Analog? I'd rather hook up the analog to my server and switch between the two.
- Yes, I have a kvm, but I think it causes some slight distortion on my picture at high res.

Isn't SVideo limitted to 60Hz? If so...might have to sync the same to SVIDEO as your monitor- Might be icky if only 60Hz.

and isn't the max resolution for the tv-out on a gf3 800x600? My guess it that it would look "icky" but, why not give it a try and see if it's giid enough for you. It would be interesting to hear how it turns out.

I believe this monitor is limited to 60Hz at 1600x1200 anyway. 'Sides I was always told that LCD's don't have the same refresh rate problems as CRT's.  Quote:
That WOULD be icky. Maybe I'll end that experiment right there! Last edited by SnotRocket : 12-20-2003 at 05:57 AM. |

It's not only the 800x600 or so limit to s-video, it's the fact that s-vid doesn't even do a very good 800x600 AT ALL.

Get a new video card with DVI and it will do the Dell 20" LCD justice.
