I need some cables, but I'm not sure as to what they are called.
Resolution on 1080i HDTV
I have an eVGA 6800 GT, and I am able to hook it up via s-video to my 53" Sony 1080i HDTV. I can only reach a max resolution of 1024x768. I know that HDTVs run at very low resolutions, but is there any way to make the screen more clear by buying another cable? I have seen ATI cards that have HDTV support by including an s-video cable that has 3 digital video cables (teal, red, blue) on one end with the s-video on the other end. Would using that instead of the standard s-video cable increase quality/resolution?
Connect to TV
In order to get sound, I have to hook up the computer directly to my sound system using a digital cable. Obviously this is better than the standard, but I may want to hook this up to another tv which isn't hooked up to a sound system. Is there any way I can hook it up to the tv? I just use my onboard audio. I think I may need one of these cables that has a headphone-size jack on one side that splits to a red/white l/r ends.
