Most good TV-out cards I've seen limit resolution to 800x600. Perhaps
there are some that do better - but why not watch your movies on your
computer monitor? Get a good card that's supported by your movie player.
Matrox has good support in mplayer; so do other cards. The Matrox G550
even has TV-out, though I don't know if it works with linux....
