Starting Windows
®
with Television Display Enabled
The television screen may become scrambled temporarily during the initial
Windows
®
logo display. This is only a temporary effect and your television
screen will be restored within a few seconds.
During start up, your Video Out graphics card will go through a sequence of
mode settings during which your television display will remain blank. This
process takes only a few seconds and helps program the television display.
Using a Monitor vs. Using the Television Display
Using your television for your computer’s display is ideal for playing games,
giving presentations, watching movies, and browsing the Internet. The display on
your monitor may change or looked squashed. This occurs because the display
adjusts to fit the dimensions of your television. To correct the monitor’s display,
use the controls on the monitor to adjust the display size and position.
Some single frequency monitors may not work with television display enabled. If
you experience problems when television display is enabled, disable television
display to restore your monitor’s display.
Adjusting Monitor Display
The size of the display on your monitor may be smaller and not perfectly
centered when you have television display enabled. These effects are caused by
the changes required to provide a proper display on the television.
Use the controls available on the Adjustments tab on the Monitor Properties page
(clickonthe
Monitor
button on the ATI Displays page) to adjust the display on
your monitor only. Click on the
Television
button to adjust the television display
only.
Viewing Text on Television
Due to the different technology used in the manufacturing of televisions and PC
monitors, standard PC text may look too small on your television.You can
compensate for this by using larger fonts.
