Agreed, I recently tried an s-video cable and the picture quality was rubbish looks like your watching tv from the 80's ;D

If no VGA/DVI/HDMI on back of telly, you're struggling.

If its an ATI card, you can make simple VGA to SCART adapter, but you need to run a piece of software that provides the required timing for a telly. Messy.
