Connect PC to LCD TV Acer 42 inch AT4220B?

Question

I tried to connect my PC to my Acer LCD via s-video card, I can only get 576i even thought my Acer support 1366x768 resolution. Is it because the maximum resolution of my graphic card is 1024x768 or the s-video cable can only support 576i. Should I upgrade my graphic card or use the dvi to hdmi cable?

Another thing is when I'm watching movies with my DVD player, I can only get 576i, is there any way that I can get the best resolution which my LCD TV support?

Thanks very much for your time

Answer 1

S cable is only capable of carrying SD. For higher resolution, you'll have to connect to your TV using VGA, component, DVI or HDMI. Any will carry full HD.

Your video card doesn't up-convert. The DVD player produces SD, that's all you'll get from the video card. Let your TV do the up-converting.
