Details PC guys can be hard to please when they have to go play console games on the tv. It's always hard to go to a tv resolution, after spending hours in front of a high resolution monitor with a good video card. My main PC currently has a high end 21" monitor, so the clarity is hard to beat.

Now I have the new Xbox, and I'm running it on a 61" HD Cinema Series tv (not a bad start). So the classic problem many big screens have when you sit close is the tendancy to get a pixelee view, and at the very least they can all use all the help they can get. But how do I maximize my tv's clarity? One way is to add an S-Video cable... and Interact has answered my plea for clarity.

I've heard about the S-Video connector's helping, but now that I've had a chance to experience it first hand… and I'm a believer. I can't give you all of the technical 'skinny' like the Interact tech guys can, but I will tell you one simple thing - it is clearer.

The answer is simple. If you want a clearer picture, this connector is a great solution.

Oh yeah, and it sounds better too!
