Using TV Out 31

Adjusting Monitor Display

The size of the display on your monitor may become smaller and not perfectly

centered when you have TV display enabled. These effects are caused by the

changes your All-in-Wonder® X800 PCI Express® makes in order to render

your desktop display on a TV screen.

Use the controls available on the Adjustments tab on the Monitor Properties

page (accessible by clicking on the Monitor button on the ATI Displays tab)

to adjust the display on your monitor only. Click the TV button to adjust the

TV display only.

Viewing Text on a TV

A TV is designed primarily to show moving images. The large dot pitch of a

TV will yield poor quality static images. The small text sizes commonly used

for PC desktops can appear blurred or unclear on a TV. You can compensate

for this degradation by using larger fonts.

Reducing Edge Distortion

When using a TV for your computer’s display, you may see some edge

distortion on the left and right side of your TV screen. This effect depends on

your TV and the computer application you are running.

You can reduce edge distortion by increasing the TV display’s horizontal size

or contrast.

Using a TV as the Only Display

If you plan to move your computer to a place where you are using TV display

only, make sure that you have the TV display feature enabled prior to

removing the monitor.

The maximum display resolution for TV is 1024 x 768. Choosing a resolution

higher than this will cause the TV display to disappear if it is the only display

device.

Using Games and Applications

Some older games and applications may program your All-in-Wonder® X800

PCI Express® directly to run under a specific display mode. This may cause

your TV display to turn off automatically or become scrambled (the PC

monitor will not be affected). Your TV display will be restored once you exit

the game or if you restart your computer.
