For a tv the refresh rate isn't an issue. Even s-vid uses very low refresh rates. If the flat-panel your hooking it to looks bad, it's not necessarialy that the refresh rate is too low, rather it's not very "compatiable".... Is it lcd or flat-panel crt? If it's lcd then it only has two or three refresh rates that it looks good in. If it's crt then it shouldn't make a diference. considering you've got a vaio, then your vid card is probably top of the line. If your getting "shutter vision" then it's due to low refreshs if you getting a blurry picture then it could be any number of things. Low refresh rates are notorious for laptops, as far as I know it's pretty standard that all laptops have bad refresh rates. Although they do have some brand new ge-force's and ati's that are supposed to be the exception.

: Well would actually like to use to hook up to larger monitors as well as large screen s-video-compatible TV sets. The current laptop I have is hurting my eyes when I hook it up to a larger flat panel monitor. I assume that's the refresh rate. The rate on the laptop is 85 kHz, but who knows if that decreases when the output goes to another monitor. This crappy output is coming from last year's top of the line Sony Vaio. Which particular laptop video card would have the highest refresh rate for video out as well as the most memory on the card? Thanks again!

: : Is this a cabinet related question, because it really depends on what your using it for. Ati has the best tv-out on laptops in general, but laptops have poor video acceleration too so somtimes they make bad bases for cabinet projects. It really does depend though.

: : : Wondering if anyone knows which video cards have the best video out on laptops?? From my experience, ATI seems to have the best for general PCs, but are they also the best on laptops?? Thanks for any input!
