Personally I have found ALL TV-out is pretty bad. I use VGA connections 
straight to a projector. It's picture perfect, and on Linux the DVD 
quality is better than my DVD player.
My TV does support VGA in, but it's only 640x480 :( but you can get 
cheap BenQ projectors which work a treat. I'll show you sometime if you 
like.

I have a 5200 with TV-out and it's still not that great, even with 
high-end gold plated cable. Colours are still washed and it's grainy, 
well compared to VGA anyhow ;)
