s-video to hd tv as in widescreen niceness? I found that for an hd tv you have to first plug the s-video in, set the tv to the input you have it plugged, then right click on the desktop go to properties, then display properties, extend my computer to a second display if its available, or go to advanced display options and find the displays tab and turn the tv icon on, if this doesnt work you'll have to set it to a projector option which is somewhere in the advanced display options sorry I can't recall of it right now, you may run into some sizing issues if you extend the display to the tv, so you may try making it the primary display, this is all in the advanced options, did this all about a week ago to run an emulator on a nice big screen, hopefully this gives you a better angle on how to go about if it only confuses my baddd

Weird, I thought most HD tv's would have one, is there one named PC or something instead?
