I had originally bought a scan converter but chose to go with an ATI video card instead because every person I talked to said they are typically low picture quality. With s-video I can view the windows desktop @ 800x600 and it looks great. Of course, you should take into account that I'm using a 27" Sony trinitron XBR TV that retailed for $1000+ in '96.
: : I too intend to build a cab based on lusids ideas with a 25"tv. As to your questions about which tv I agree that is just a matter of personal taste(not everyone agrees on quality). I have thought to use the voodoo3 tv out card for better speed in windows games based against the rage. As for display issues of the desktop, I am considering buying a scan converter. It will output desktop res. at 1024x768(you see where I'm going with this). The one I was interested in is the Averkey(Avermedia) iMicro, it sells for $89 at several different places. It has too many features to list here but I think it might help as to display desktop issues on the tv. Just my thoughts and ideas here. Good Luck.
