From: Mike Warren on 16 Dec 2009 23:36 I notice that getting video cards with S-video or composite TV output is becoming quite difficult. Everything has HDMI on it instead now. Anyone have any insight into whether this is just a temporary situation, or s-video on video cards is going for good? Surely there are still lots of TVs out there with no HDMI inputs. -- - Mike

Its going for good, essentially because HDMI leaves s-video for dead quality of image wise. > Surely there are still lots of TVs out there with no HDMI inputs. Yes, but not that many who bother to drive them from a PC anymore.

You have no argument from me there. >Yes, but not that many who bother to drive them from a PC anymore. Except /all/ my customers. I guess I'd better stock up while I can. Thanks for the reply. It's what I was expecting. -- - Mike
