How TV Display Cannot Be Used

A TV cannot be left connected to the card if two analog monitors are connected, even if the TV is off and not enabled in the software.

An analog monitor connected to the DVI-I connector cannot be left connected to the card when TV out is enabled. In both cases, your graphics card will become overloaded, resulting in a dim image on all devices.

Using a Monitor vs. Using TV Display

Using your TV for your computer’s display can be useful, however, the display on your monitor may change or looked squashed. This distortion 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 become 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 the TV button to adjust the TV display only.
