On my Visiontek GF3 I can connect my TV to the S-Video output on the card and then press Advanced in the Settings page in the Display properties dialog. From there, select the Device Selection tab and you will have the option of switching your display to your tv or monitor.
 
There're different formats available (ntsc, pal,..etc.). The annoying thing is that you can only have only one display on at one time. So it's either the TV or monitor.
 
As for resolution, when I switch to the tv it becomes 800x600 and when I return to the monitor it returns to its previous setting.
 
Hope this was helpful!

The result is much inferior to a high resolution computer monitor.
 
With Hercules Geforce 3, screen resolution must be set at 800x600, 8 bit color with 60 Hertz refresh rate first. Software tools are not ready for GeForce 3 yet on those sites but could come out soon:

Buy RCA converter jacks and screw them at both end of a 75-ohm RG59 co-axial cable. Plug this cable in the TV at one end and the S-VHS video to RCA composite converter cable at the other (included with the Hercules Prophet 3 card). Total cost will be 20% of the price of a high quality video cable.
