Using TV Out 35

caused by the changes your All-in-Wonder® X1900 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® X1900 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.
