Pc output to TV

[jwhite8086]

Would it be better to connect my Pc to the TV with dvi to RGB adapter or the s video to componet adapter?

DVI to RGB is higher quality then S Video to component.

More like about 10 miles.

SVideo is NTSC signal that will be hardly readable text with any resolution greater than 640x480.

The new 360's all have HDMI which would be the best choice.

For older 360's using the VGA output would be best if your TV can handle a 1080p VGA connection since it will let you also upconvert SD DVD's with CSS copy protection (most purchased DVDs). IIRC you can use RGB colorspace with VGA and they make VGA to RGB adapter cables.

Yep, it'll set you back about $100 though, and no reports on how well it works. Not worth it in my opinion:
