To obtain the best picture quality from your television (or other
video display device), you may need to adjust the video settings.
See the video device documentation for additional configuration
steps.
TECHNICAL NOTE: In order to use one of the simultaneous
modes, you must set the resolution of the internal display
panel to match the resolution of the external display device.

Video limitations

Keep in mind that the quality of the display will be limited to the
capabilities of the external video device.
❖
If the external video device, such as an SVGA monitor, is
capable of displaying at a maximum resolution of 640 x 480
and your system is set for a higher resolution, only part of the
desktop will appear on the screen. You can view the "lost"
area by scrolling to it.
❖
Since most televisions and video projectors overscan by 15 to
20 percent, some of the desktop will be outside the viewing
area. You can view the edge of the desktop by scrolling to it.
❖
If you use the display hot key (
output with the LCD Display Stretch option enabled and the
Display area (resolution) set to 640 x 480 or 800 x 600, the
image on the internal display panel may appear stretched.
