So I googled the problem, and i was directed to this video.

It also has an HDMI out. When pluging the HDMI out into my 50inch Pioneer plasma TV, the computer (Windows Vista) only recognizes 30 Hertz at 1080/768 resolution. The Pioneer also has a PC VGA input, but when I plug the DVI with VGA adapter into the VGA input on the same TV, it offers 75 Hertz rather than the HDMI's 30 Hertz at the 1080 resolution. I thought that using the digital signal rather than the analog would result in a clearer picture. Is there something I'm missing, or will the digital signal only support up to 30 Hertz?

My Gateway GT4024 XP multimedia came with a VGA adapter to the monitor. If I get a DVI cable, will I have to do anything other than plug it in in place of the VGA cable? If it gives a clearer image, and I run HD DVDs on my multi-drive, I want the best picture I can get. Long time reader; first time with a question.

I want to use a spare notebook computer to stream video to my TV. The TV will accept either S-video or component video. Is there a way to convert the "display monitor out" signal on the notebook computer to a video format that my TV will accept? How do you go the other way?
