I have a GeForce 9500 GS graphics card. I am using an S-Video Cable from my TV to the S-Video port on the computer. When I go to the control panel, it is not showing my TV listed as a display option. I choose "My display is not shown" and then choose "Rigorous Display Detection". It then asks me if I want to "force detection on the next start up" when I choose then and restart, it still does not detect my TV.

I have updated my drivers and still having the same issue. I have also tried just using VGA to VGA instead of S-Vid to S-Vid and still no luck.

I'm frustrated! lol Any advice?

If your TV has a VGA input, you're going to get a lot better quality from that than you're going to get from S-Video. In theory it should be easier to get working as well, since VGA is primarily a computer connector. DVI would be better quality still.

What make and model of television do you have?
Have you tried updating your video card drivers?
What are you using for a computer monitor, and what resolution are you running it at?

I do have VGA if it is what I'm thinking. Is that the one with the yellow, white and red connectors? I ran a cable from the yellow (video in) to the yellow in my graphics card and it still wouldn't read it. I have a 3 yr old Sanyo TV and my monitor is 1680x1050. Yes I did update my drivers.

The yellow connector is composite video, with an RCA connector, it's lesser quality compared to S-video.

VGA (aka D-sub, HD-15, DE-15, etc.) is usually colored blue (if at all) and is trapezoidal and has 15 small pins. It's capable of much higher quality than composite or S-video, but isn't a common connector on televisions. It's mostly used for computer monitors, and sometimes on HDTVs.


I don't have a computer with an nVidia card, so I can't search through menus, sorry.

You might try setting your resolution to 1024x768 or 800x600 and seeing if that allows you to choose TV-out, because I think most S-video outputs are limited to those resolutions (and if they offered higher you wouldn't be able to make out text anyway)
