The Media Center video display looks bad on your TV

Many factors can significantly affect the video quality:

•Cable connections—Loose cables can lower video quality. Check all cable connections.

•Display type—The Media Center is best viewed on computer displays. Other types of display devices, including TVs, may provide lower quality video.

•Type of connection used—The connection type has an affect on the video quality. Your computer has one or more video outputs. Use the highest quality output your TV and computer supports:

•A/V cables (basic)

•S-Video (fair, but not optimized for computer video display)

•VGA (good)

•DVI (better)

•HDMI (best)

•Quality of video cables—Poor quality video cables can cause problems. We recommend using high-quality video cables.
