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.

In most cases, the computer will select the best resolution match to display on the TV. You can override this setting if you wish. The instructions below are for setting the resolution on most personal computers.

2.Select Control Panel.

3.Select Display.

4.Choose the Settings tab.

5.Change the resolution to the highest resolution with the aspect ratio best suited for the image. See the table on the next page showing possible PC formats. Depending on your computer’s operating system, adjust the resolution with either:

•the Screen area slider.

•the Screen Resolution slider

6.To change the refresh rate, click on the Advanced button.

7.On the Monitor tab, select a setting from the Screen refresh rate drop-down list. The resolution of 1920 x 1080 is supported at 24, 30, and 60 Hz; other resolu- tions are supported at 60 Hz.

You may need to restart the computer for this change to take effect.

NOTE: Whenever the TV is powered on, the lamp is in use, even if the TV screen appears dark. As a reminder that the TV is powered on and that time is being added to the lamp’s elapsed hours, set the computer’s screen saver to a pattern that will display after several minutes of inactivity.
