Playing around with hooking the 840 up to a TV. With two 840s, I get two different results.
Setup - 840 -> four head cable (Composite, S-vid, two sound channels - apparently I need all four to get the TV display to work -> converter box (switchbox, same thing I have a DVD player and VCR hooked into) -> TV. Settings are the same on both systems. On regular monitors, both displays are fine. On the TV, though, one is fine - looks just like it does on the computer monitor. On the other, though, the display is much brighter - too bright, in fact - and there is what looks like an interference pattern in some light areas. (Best description I can think of is this - take a screenshot, run it into Photoshop, lighten it, and keep hitting "Sharpen" and "Find Edges" 7-8 times.) So what's causing the difference? The second one's actually physically painful (literally) to look at for more than 30 seconds. Same port on the switch box. Same cable. No changes anywhere else. Same amount of VRAM. This is more a "curiosity" thing than anything, as they're not hooked up to TVs too often, but if I can remedy it, so much the better. -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
