Hello, my question is can i watch HD movies on my tv from my computer using S-Video because i have my HD TV hooked up through S-Video but i don't know if it will run the movies in HD or not in HD?Josh9321

Like the other people said, s-video is only 480 so it's not HD and VGA is limited because it is still an analog signal but I don't remember the exact specs. VGA will downgrade the image and not display in "true" HD quality but better then S-vide. Also, what format are you trying to watch HD movies from? If it's movies on you HDD or the internet you should have no problem if you watch them using a DVI or HDMI cable, if your TVand graphics cardhave a port for it. If you are trying to watch HD movies off an internal drive, you need to watch out for HDCP support. HDCP is an encryption used on HD and BlueRay DVDs when the DVD is being viewed using either a DVI or HDMI cable.It will scamble or black out the image if all components are not HDCP compliant. Not all LCD monitors are HDCP compliant and some old GPUs also don't support HDCP. Your HDTV should not have a problem but your graphics card might. Again, this only applys to HD and BlueRay DVDs.
