I'm having similarly disappointing results with S-video from the poxy Apple adapter and need to find a better alternative (unfortunately it needs to be a better adapter rather than just a new display!)

As I mentioned I only have access at the moment to S-Video with a Component adapter on schedule to arrive tomorrow. My TV does not have VGA or DVI which would be the best if you can handle it.

VGA will give you better video then S or composite. I thought you were supposed to lead, not follow.

I have similar problems with my macmini hooked up to my tv through the vga adapter. Could you please let us know what a component adapter would do to improve the experience?

Will post any issues when it arrives. I am hoping it helps readability quite a bit. The playback and access part is great, it's just hard to read text on some things.

I have a similar setup that I've posted about on my site - I'll be adding pictures and detail tomorrow. However, for those out there that have DVI on their TVs, reading text is not an issue. I've been able to browse the web, read emails and documents with no problem. I would imagine the component adapter will help the issue tremendously. Congrats on the setup.
