Using Your TV as a Computer (PC) Display

Setting Up Your PC Software (Based on Windows XP)
The Windows display-settings for a typical computer are shown below. The actual screens on your PC will probably be
different, depending upon your particular version of Windows and your particular video card. However, even if your actual
screens look different, the same basic set-up information will apply in almost all cases. (If not, contact your computer or
Video Card manufacturer.)
1 First, click on Control Panel on the Windows start menu.
 When the control panel window appears, click on Appearance and Themes and a
display dialog-box will appear.
 When the control panel window appears, click on Display and a display dialog-box
will appear.
4 Navigate to the Settings tab on the display dialog-box.
The correct size setting (resolution)
Optimum : PN42A450P1D : 1024x768 pixels
PN50A450P1D : 1360x768 pixels
If a vertical-frequency option exists on your display settings dialog box, the correct
value is 60 or 60 Hz. Otherwise, just click OK and exit the dialog box.

Display Modes

If the signal from the system equals the standard signal mode, the screen is adjusted automatically. If the signal
from the system doesn't equal the standard signal mode, adjust the mode by referring to your videocard user
guide; otherwise there may be no video. For the display modes listed below, the screen image has been optimized
during manufacture.
