2407FPW-HC - Bad For Svideo?

I was hoping to replace my tv with this monitor. I've tried the composite cable (RCA) and the svideo. I plug my cable box directly into the monitor and it doesn't look very good. My old tv looked much better. Is this just a bad monitor for watching an external source? It looks great from my computer. My cable box only has svideo out and RCA (composite) out. What can I do?

keliason,

You should contact your cable TV provider and get the newer box that has component outs.

but why would the svideo still be bad? shouldn't svideo look sharp on a dell monitor of this caliber?

maybe your S-video port isn't working right. Do you have anything else with S-video you can try
(or borrow to try)
