Re: optimize tv out? ibook
I'm afraid that there's not much you can do to optimize your picture. You could play around with the TV's settings and such, but that's more of a trial and error thing.

The reason that the picture is fuzzy is because the TV doesn't have anywhere close to the resolution that your iBook can generate. Your iBook has a 1024x768 resolution. A good quality TV can have about 500 or so lines of resolution. Even in that case, you're gonna be missing around 250 horizontal lines.

EDIT --- I think I may have some terms mixed up here. Mainly "lines of resolution" and pixels. I don't think that they are interchangable. But anyways, the point is that the TV doesn't have the resolution of your iBook's screen. Therefore the picture will always look fuzzy.
