Most new nVidia cards from the Geforce4 Mx440 series onwards have built-in S-Video ports and come with free S-Video cable that plugs straight into the video plug in your TV. (bonus!)

As for sound, what I used to do was use a plug that converted the single sound plug (forget the name of it) to 2 L/R plugs which I plug into the TV.

Hopefully that helps.

Yes, NVidia and also ATI cards... But you asked about quality... In game I've tried it on a big screen and it was pretty good BUT in Windows, viewing the desktop, reading stuff it was HORRIBLE... Might wanna keep that in mind.

:p 60" that's gonna be pretty nice.... better yet a 60" LCD Monitor O.o they cost like $15,000 but..... would be worth it IMHO O.o ;)
