Can anyone please tell me if it is possible to connect my PC to a TV? After previously owning a games console, I miss the `arcade look` created by a television. My PC monitor is `too pure and clean` when it comes to game graphics. Games like Doom look wierd on a monitor as you can see every block on the screen. I want a fuzzy, unfocassed, blurry picture when playing games, without violently bashing the monitor until this effect is created. Vast ammounts of alcohol creates a fuzzy picture, but it wears off after a while and gaming performance is drastically reduced. Is there any way that a cheap external TV modulator can be connected to the output of my existing graphics card, a bit like the old Amiga 500 external TV modulator? Or can a special lead be `rigged` to allow me to use a TV. I've got very little money left, so please no bright ideas about getting a new 200 quid graphics card with built in TV tuners or anything like that. -- Neil Jackson
