PC---TV Help!!
OK Folks...here it goes: I am running a Dell Inspiron 5150 with 512 RAM plenty of free space and a NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 graphics card. I have been playing videos on a TV via my laptop for a few years now and always been pretty happy with the results. I finally have a decent TV...36'' Sony Trinitron.
(http://www.amazon.com/Sony-KV-36FS120-36-Inch-Trinitron-WEGA/dp/B0002FO3JM)
I had big plans for this thinking I would have a perfect image showing on my TV now that its finally a decent TV, but that is not totally the case. I am using S Video-->to S Video to transfer the images, but I cannot seem to get these white "bars" that travel from the bottom to the top of the screen. They are very transparent and cannot really be seen when the movie is shot during the day, but once the screen is black or a dark part of a movie the lines can be seen clearly... Is it simply my graphics card? can it not produce a decent image on a S Video? Is is some setting I am not using right? the second monitor(TV) is set @ 1024x768 @ 32 bit.... This is all been a huge pain and I have looked all over the net. I figured it was time to post on some boards and see what happens....any help would be great. Thanks Mike
Just figured I would include some screens of what I am looking at:
People have said "Refresh Rates" to me before but 60 is all I have....

The levels of unwanted emissions from a TV with a large CRT such as your new Sony, while safe, are relatively high. Therefore the shielding of connecting video cables needs to be very effective to prevent interference effects such as you describe. I suggest you try an S-video to S-video cable similar to the type at this link.
You should also try disconnecting the audio cable while the interference is noticeable to see whether unwanted emissions are being introduced into the video by this path.
