Using a Monitor vs. Using the TV Display

Using your TV for your PC’s display is ideal for

playing games, giving presentations, watching

movies, and browsing the Internet. However, the

display on your monitor may change or looked

squashed. This occurs because the display adjusts to

fit the dimensions of your TV. To correct the

monitor’s display, use the monitor’s control buttons

to adjust its display size and position.

Some single frequency monitors may not work with

TV display enabled. If you experience problems

when TV display is enabled, disable TV 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 TV

display enabled. These effects are caused by the

changes required to provide a proper display on the

TV.

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 on the

TV button to adjust the TV display only.

Viewing Text on a TV

A TV is designed primarily to show moving, rather

than static, images. The large dot pitch of a TV

(which is fine for moving video) will yield poor

quality static images such as text.

The small text sizes commonly used for PC desktops

can appear blurred or unclear on a TV. You can

compensate for this by using larger fonts.
