question about video cards and tvs

[yads]

Hi I'm planning to buy a video card w/ video out so I can plug my TV into it. I am planning on doing my game playing on the TV so what I want to know is how does the whole resolution thing work on TVs? I'm wondering if it's worth buying a Ti4200 card over a Radeon 8500, since it kicks Radeon's ass at high resolutions, or not? Thanks.

Although a TV can only display a max of 800x600 you can always use the TV out on an nvidia graphics card and use dual screen stuff so you can play games on two monitors. I would recommend the Nvidia over the ATi though.
