Some single-frequency monitors may not work with TV display enabled. If
you experience problems when TV display is enabled, disable TV display
to restore your monitor's display.

Viewing Text on a TV

A TV is designed primarily to show moving images. The large dot pitch of
a TV will yield poor quality static images. The small text sizes commonly
used for PC desktops can appear blurred or unclear on a TV. You can
compensate for this degradation by using larger fonts.

Using a TV as the Only Display

If you plan to move your computer to a place where you are using TV
display only, make sure that you have the TV display feature enabled prior
to removing the monitor.
The maximum display resolution for TV is 1024 x 768. Choosing a
resolution higher than this will cause the TV display to disappear if it is the
only display device.

Using Games and Applications

Some older games and applications may program your Radeon® X1900
Series directly to run under a specific display mode. This may cause your
TV display to turn off automatically or become scrambled (your PC
monitor or portable LCD display will not be affected). Your TV display
will be restored once you exit the game or if you restart your computer.

Connecting to HDTV

View computer output directly on your High Definition Television
(HDTV) or other component input device. Provide a big-screen experience
for your computer that is ideal for playing games, giving presentations,
watching movies, and browsing the Internet.
HDTV uses YPbPr connectors to receive input. YPbPr stands for the
following:
• Y = Green
