The Media Center video display looks bad on your TV
Many factors can significantly affect the video quality:
Cable connections—Loose cables can lower video
quality. Check all cable connections.
Display type—The Media Center is best viewed on
computer displays. Other types of display devices,
including TVs, may provide lower quality video.
Type of connection used—The connection type has an
affect on the video quality. Your computer has one or
more video outputs. Use the highest quality output your
TV and computer supports:
A/V cables (basic)
S-Video (fair, but not optimized for computer video
display)
VGA (good)
DVI (better)
HDMI (best)
Quality of video cables—Poor quality video cables can
cause problems. We recommend using high-quality
video cables.
