# Hahahah yes!!
TJ: I have just hooked my TV up to my computer, just playing around with dual screens, and I noticed the quality was terrible.
I expect this is due to the resolution of the TV and the capability of the graphics card I have, so what is the best kind of TV to use?
I have a Radeon X1650 Pro card, but I'm not sure what size the TV is.
It's bigger than my monitor, though.

# have you tried hitting it with a pointed stick?
/change the refresh rate as tv's don't like too high a refresh rate (from memory)

# composite or s/video
is shite, also known as "TEH GHEY"

maybe you can output actual hd with some fancy graphics card twiddling but your generic tv out is crap (tho svideo is marginally less crap than composite)

edit: if you don't got hd type telly, you can maybe convince your video card to output something ntsc/pal style with rgb, but this may require some farting about, just buy an expensive large flat screen monitor for a bargain price of £800 or something and use the pc input :)

# I know it is!
I just have no adapter for a second monitor and I was impatient to try it out.

# it's some kind of weak throwback to THE SHITTING FEAR american companies have to putting fucking rgb out on domestic tv equipment
and lack of macrovision style horror therein

yay! to people paying £2000 for lcd panels and having them go blank during movie playback because they had the audacity to steal a monitor, computer and dvd (steal as in paying money for them at retail and expecting them to work)

# Or smash the thing with the flat of your fist
It always worked for my Amiga, the sodding thing refused to read disks without a smack. The masocistic little bitch.

Then they're cheap and long-lasting.

Also I would have thought the disks being literal would be funnier. Although her juices would probably ruin the magnetic tape.

# Lies. CDs and round storage formats are discs
Floppies and other square formats are disks.
