Thanks for the explanation. It seems that I need either a converter box, or a proper video card in my Cube. I may try the cables first, but I also have my eye on a Radeon 9200 card that has video out on the card. For the cost of the box, I can probably get a decent video card in to the Cube without too much hassle. Prior to my older iBook, the only time I ever attempted video out on the Macs was with an older Quadra 840av, and that was built for video in and out. The box might be easier, but it is one more thing to plug into the wall in the living room. It sounds like the cables will be cheap, but give rotten results overall. OSX might allow some fiddling with the video settings. I don't know without trying. Scott
