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.
To Use Larger Display Fonts
1Access the Windows® Control Panel. Double- click Display.
2For Windows® XP, click the Appearance tab. For Windows® 98, Windows® Me, Windows®
2000, click the Settings tab, the Advanced...
button, then the General tab. For Windows® NT click the Settings tab.
3In the Font Size box, select the size you want your displayed fonts to be.
4Click Apply. If prompted, click Yes to restart your PC.
Reducing Edge Distortion
When using a TV for your PC’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 PC application you are running.
To reduce edge distortion, you can increase the TV display’s horizontal size.
To Increase the Horizontal Size
1Access the Windows® Control Panel. Double- click Display.
