Will connecting my computer to my TV via S-Video hurt my graphics card at all?

I would like to connect my computer to my television but only if my graphics card is safe. So if I plugged an S-Video cord into my graphics card, then, into my TV, would I be safe from my computer's graphics card getting worn/burnt out?



Thanks,

Johnny|||if it has a s video hook up then it is meant to be used and is safe|||Your computer and graphics card would be perfectly fine as long as the card had the svhs port built in. Now, if your card didn't have that port and you rigged up something with adapters there might be an infinitesimally small chance of something going wrong but most likely the worst that would happen is that the picture wouldn't be very good. This of course does not take into account your cable or antenna getting struck by lightning during a thunder storm while your computer is plugged into the tv then all bets are off.|||It will not hurt your graphics card at all. The circuitry is designed with the intent of outputting a Y/C video signal.
