Like the subject, what is the HDTV out cable that comes with the X800? is it the thing that goes from S video to componet? a DVI cable? When I get my X800 im going to be connecting it to my HDTV so I am looking to see what my options are.
Thanks
Adam

HDTV's use what appears to be 3 rca plugs, often called component in on the tv itself. 3 video plugs for the picture+ whatever sound cords you need. This is similar to what it should have: http://buy.ati.com/shopati/product....ption=Accessories&find_part_desc=&country=USA

Yeah, I know thats what I need. I was wondering if someone could confirm if the X800 comes with that, or the dongle that comes with the AIW cards. Or if the HDTV cable is something complety diffrent.

I believe some manufacturers (ie: Sapphire) are including the dongle in their retail boxes while some are not. I'd check and make sure that the card you order actually has one.

ATi does sell them seperately.

Yeah, I will have to check. It looks like the Sapphire one comes with it which is a $30 value and on top of that a coupon for HL2 makes it worth the extra $45 for the Sapphire, unless the one from ATI includes it.

if i use this adapter on the monitor i could then play any component source on my monitor such as the xbox with that connection. Since im doing a conversion here with connections since it wasnt orgiionaly component but rgb will i see a set resolution limit or quality diffrence?
