I have an FX-5200(yeah, yeah I know they suck) and I have it hooked up to my tv and the quality isn't all that great(wavy and such), is there anyway to improve it?
 
search for TVtool, 15 day free trial, something like $15 to register.
 
All video card output pretty much sucks if you actually want to read text.........composite is horrible, s-video is viewable and component(I have an ATI VGA HDTV adapter) looks pretty decent. That's been my experience with a Radeon 7500,8500,9000 and nVidia MX-440 and Ti4200.
 
You can tweak the settings to some degree...

If you're trying to push a 1024x768 image out a TV (which like like 320x200 or 320x240), IQ's going to suck. Try dropping the resolution down & see if that helps.
 
the thing that got my attention was the comment about it being wavy...
now its always going to be blurry as hell, but it should never be wavy...
 
The same thing happen with my Ti4200.
The TV output is wavy and blurry. The only TV I tested is kindda old (Sony Trinitron 29"), maybe that's the problem?
 
That probably has to do with the manufacturer's choice of chip for TV output. Not just the line. Somewhere out there there is a site with a list of TV chips on video cards and the quality.
