you can increase the web page text size in ie by going to view on menu bar then to text size and select larger or largest. if you can i'd say set the resolution to 640x480. the min for my card is 800x600 so i cant read nothing on the screen less i use the magnifier.

nope, just the A/V out into the VCR then onto the Tele...i dont think it will go any lower than 800x600.....i messed with the "accessibilites" making some text appear in bold, but i guess i need to play around a little more....

SOL
I went through that once before also. A reg tv can't reproduce the same as you get on a computer monitor. Was once explained to me but I don't remeber exactly what it was. I think you need an up to date tv with s input.

Yah, if you get a digital TV it's a whole lot better. My like 15inch analog is terrible with a computer hooked up to it.

True. And a L.C.D. rear view display will look ebst. Hmmm 60-80"s of digital goodnesss without burnin issues like plasma! fact no burn in-they are crystals that are either twisted one way or another. So nothing cares about how long the image remians shown. Its either passing light from its backlight pipe system..(a light recycler combined with low volts CFL's and direction viewing filters.)

Back to topic though, LOL. R-G_B hookup's to a lcd or crt blow away s-video. Its the top end of digital in/out today. Look at the back of a old PS or such if you dont know what R-G-B is. The wide jack that goes to s-video or rf converter is just that but sony's mock up for ps. My dvd setup has R-G-B hookups. For lcd it helps tons. Why? welp each crystal per pixel (3 per pixel of crt for one dot) is either Red, Green, Or Blue. Now Ironicly R_G_B or component is each color band or one component seperated and sent individully to the unit. Way higher bandwith and definition. Also like older s-video it helps by removing signal noise made by audio running with video in same cable. THey are isolated this way allowing better digi pic and sound. As lcd controlers and substaraite manufacturing gets better and yield rates are more in favour of co (1-10 make it to store for sale). The price will come down and the "responce" time, how quick the l.c.d. can twist to bend the light from shown to full stop off will lower alot. Increasing contrast is already a commen thing. This is how well it can go fully black and how much light it can block verses how fast it twists alone. Now 600 being avg found in better units. In begining 150 was commen and black was really grey'ish. Ever see a 386 laptop-yeah...that kind. Heh. Responce was so low your MOUSE left trails. LOL. Even my ps lcd is faster than that. And brightness has gone up with the advent of more light transmisive crystals and better light systems. My lcd front projection unit-ha thats another story.
