well i connected my tv to my computer through s-video to a 36 inch tv. Apparently im not supposed to use messanger (yahoo, xfire or msn) on this. I found that out the hard way as the text was messed and to small. Also when i watch movies, it is cut at the bottom and the side of my screen/tv is kinda twisted/warped. Is there a way to fix that as well as prevent the cut off and by any chance use the tv for surfing the web without losing my eyes?

You need to go to your display settings and have your computer "detect display" it may know what you are using for a monitor. or you can check the owners manual that came with the TV to see what size the display is and choose one closest on your computer. (ex. i use my 42" plasma for a monitor, I use 1280x 1024) yes the writing gets hard to read at times. but i don't use it for word processing too much.

try adjusting the resolution that your tv screen displays.
a typical tv wants only about 640x480 and 43 to 46Hertz and a relatively small DPI.
your display card on your computer should be able to correct all the problems you describe. but use a normal display panel to work from and have the TV as monitor 2 ifyour system can out put to two displays at the same time.
failing all else use an RCA connection instead of the s-video you should be able to get an adapter and this will normally provide a clearer sharper image.
it does on my ATI Radeon 9550 and x1900 display cards with my TV. s-video looks awful coming from any computer to a TV. in my experiance.

When you use S-Video your input has to be lowered to a atleast 800 by 600 or it is fuzzed. Try buying a RGB connector like the one connected to your monitor to your computer the picture is put up on the television asa monitor and can go as high as your vid card.
but the RGB connector can only be done on a plasma/LCD screen with monitor capabilities.

I have also tried doing this but never found an answer it just did't look good. I think you can only do it on the new flat screen lcd or plasma tvs. Sorry couldn't be any help.

Driving a TV or monitor at a higher frequency than they were designed for, can cause permanent damage. Better check what you are doing first, and if you aren't sure, DON'T.

relies upon out of your GPU, in the experience that your GPU is sweet sufficient to assist hi-res television, then it relatively is going to be effective. yet I doubt. examine optimum supported decision of the GPU and evaluate it to the television decision. you will use the decrease one.

is it close to your computer tower or external speakers? Try moving them apart, there may be magnetic interference.
