Re: MCE video quality question

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I'm using a generic FX5200 video card that I got for around $40 from
newegg.com, it works great for standard def TV and after some tweaking and
playing with the settings, I've got it looking "acceptable" for the normal
XP desktop. It's not like using a monitor, but it's readable for the
occasional times I need to work outside of the MCE GUI.
