I found a 21 inch PC monitor that has jack connections for vga, s-video
and bnc on the back, i have vga cables, but was told i would get better
picture and higher res with the s-video or bnc cables.
my question is--what cards does a machine need in order to send s-video
to a 21 in monitor? and or/what card for bnc connections?
Are you sure this monitor has S-Video? That sounds highly unusual, VGA and BNC, and maybe ADC or DVI. S-Video is for TV's, and is only NTSC or HDTV resolutions. VGA and BNC can do the same resolutions, theoretically you get better color separation with BNC because each wire has its own ground. For BNC connections, you use any card with VGA output, and get a VGA -> BNC cable. The cable will have VGA (or ADC) on one end, and 4 or 5 BNC connectors on the other (depending on whether the cable is Sync on Green or not). If you monitor really does have S-Video on it, any Mac with S-Video out (some AV ones), or any recent video card (various ATI Radeons mostly) have S-Video connectors on them, but since they are for TV, the S-Video is generally limited to 800x600 at the most.
Hope that helps, Shawn Mulligan
