How TV Display Cannot Be Used 39

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.

Switching to a larger display font

1Access the Display Properties dialog by right-clicking on the desktop or navigating through Windows® Control Panel.

2Click the Settings tab, the Advanced button, and then the General tab.

3In the Display section, select Large (120 DPI) from the Font Size

(or DPI Setting) drop-down list.

4Click Apply. If prompted, click Yes to restart your Computer.

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.
