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. The resolution of 1920 x 1080 is supported at refresh rates of 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.

1.In the PC’s Start menu, select Settings.

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 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 refresh rates of 24, 30, and 60 Hz; other resolutions are supported at 60 Hz only.

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

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.
