  • Using a Matrox G400 Marvel with a TV-out Questions

    Hi,
    I was wondering, those that use Multimonitors, with Dualhead, a Matrox Marvel G400, or other Matrox video cards using TV-Out. Maybe you know of a good website that tells how to set it up right, or different setups, different settings, for Video work, Gaming, and other uses. While I have mine setup for video out and a VCR, a TV< a video camera, etc., I would like to make it work the best possbile, some settings work better than others and there are man6y many combinations of settings. Sometimes I get it tto display the way I want on the TV< but then my monitor is setup wrong, finding it hard to find a setting where I am happy with the both the monitor settings and the TV out. I also installed the new Dualhead program from Matrox. I also set my Bios for TV-out. This thing has tons of settings, takes hours to go through them and learn what everything does.

    I put a 27" Sharp TV on it through the RCA cables and the S-Video cable. Connected with a Matrox mavel G400, and a VCR.
