I have a 32" LCD and had hooked my Dell game box up to it hoping for some
great resolution and stuff.

For some reason my video card will only display in 800x600.

I have an ATI 9800 pro.  Any ideas?

S-Video doesn't support HDTV resolutions.  Sorry.

Most LCD TVs come with either a DVI port or a VGA port - are you sure this
one doesn't have one?  If not you can also get a component-to-dvi or
component-to-vga dongle (monoprice.com usually has them).

But to get HDTV resolutions you need to use Component, DVI or HDMI.  VGA
usually treats the TV as a PnP monitor and is, by far, the simplest option.
