I just purchased an HP L2335 LCD monitor and noticed that it has, along with others, an s-video connection. My video card has an s-video out as well. I'm currently using my DVI connection but am curious what good the s-video connection would do? is it only for connecting to a tv?
Thanks
Brad

i would think it6s also to connect other devices such as camcoreders etc, but i wouldnt think theres a need to connect s-video to ur card as dvi is better?

yeah it sounds like your LCD has video (composite and s-video) as well as RGB inputs, such as VGA and DVI. Stick to the DVI connector, it is by far the best one. Resolution for s-video is ~480 lines...much worse than what VGA and DVI can handle

For the best quality mp3s use EAC (exact audio copy) to rip your audio CDs and LAME to encode them. Follow this guide:
