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 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.
