Post Watching movies from computer on the tv
Im running a video connection between my tower to my tv with an s-video cable. It works well enough but I have some degredation in video quality (faint horizontal-ish lines). I have a Nvidia geforce gtx 260 video card and a 720p 32" Dynex flatscreen tv and the span between them is roughly 12ft. What cables do you recommend for better quality?

S-Video is trash quality, get rid of it and use an HDMI or VGA input.

S-Video doesn't have high enough bandwidth to transfer a high quality image like others can.
