Default TV as a second monitor
I want my TV as a second monitor, and I have an S-video cable running from my video card to the tv, however the image displayed on the tv is terrible. The image jumps around and I can't see anything. I've tried reinstalling my drivers a few times and now I can't even get my display properties open. Anyone know how I can get this to work?

Word of advice.

Don't do it, it will look like crap.

Unless you are watching movies on it

The only wy it will look good is if the TV is an LCD or Plasma because a TV resolution is 640x480. Turn your monitor to that setting and see what it looks like
