========================
Most video cards have an S-Video output that can be connected to the TV S-Video input.
Many newer Video cards are available with HDTV and S-Video outputs. HDTV is much higher resolution (720P: 1366 x 768) than S-Video.
The image on the screen has a relationship with your resolution settings. Although all S-Video outputs use a fixed low resolution to maintain compatibility with your TV, it scales according to what the resolution of your computer is set to. Adjust your resolution in the settings tab of your display properties. Use a selection no higher than 800 x 600 with 16-bit color. A setting of 640 x 480 will be much easier to see, but icons and windows will appear very large.

The problem is that vga is a digital signal and s-video is not. So, it's not just about changing the ends of the cable.
