Goes here for sure cause I'm looking at the hardware itself.
Ok, minor bit of background. My pc has an AV out for a TV (you know, the yellow-white-red plugs; card's got the yellow for video, and I've got an audio splitter that takes a headphone jack and makes it red-white plugs, so that's covered). I've tried to use that AV out in the past.
Unless watching a video, the quality is absolute...Well, I can't come up with a string of bad words to quantify just how absolutely horrid it is.
Now heres what I'm trying to do: I'm actually pondering building an arcade-joystick setup similar to what you see in arcades. I wanted to build a shoebox pc and use that with an AV out to display it on any tv I plug it into.
Problem. AV looks like crap!
Really big problem cause I won't build the joystick unless I can fix that.
So, short of buying a TV with a different set of input plugs and a new video card with a different set of output plugs, is there any way to make the AV Out come in clearer, and not so damned fuzzy?
I'm guessing the problem is gunna be $$$, but for sake of argument, assume I'm Bill Gates, but I'd like to avoid paying anyone to design the part I need - the part needs to already exist and be purchasable by a consumer.
