[chbot] Projector vs S-Video

[Hanno Sander]

S-video has much less bandwidth than VGA/HDMI...  The highest resolution is
640x480.  Higher resolutions will be downsampled to that resolution making
your image blurry.  Before spending money on other cables make sure your
projector is capable of displaying higher resolutions...
