Adjusting Image Resolution
Your Mitsubishi TV can display resolutions from standard VGA (640 x 480) through 1920 x 1080 signals at a refresh rate of 60 Hz. Note that 1280 x 1024 and 1920 x 1080 signals are supported only for digital computer signals, and 1920 x 1080 at 24, 30, and 60 Hz. See Appendix B in this book for more on compatible screen resolutions.
When connecting a computer providing digital video, in most cases the computer will select the best resolution match to display on the TV. You can override this setting if you wish. For a computer providing analog video, you may need to set the resolution manually. The instruc- tions below are for setting the resolution on most personal computers.
