If you are using the tv-out (s-video), you have to use a resolution of 640x480. Anything higher will look like crap since it comes out as 640x480 anyways and trying to push it at 800x600 will push the vid card harder and quality will drop drastically. If you have an HDTV, DON'T use the s-video, you won't get anything higher than 640x480 interlaced.
