Reducing Edge Distortion; Using A Tv As The Only Display - ATI Technologies X1900GT - Radeon 256MB Pcie User Manual

Reducing Edge Distortion

When using a TV for your computer's display, you may see some edge
distortion on the left and right side of your TV screen. This effect depends
on your TV and the computer application you are running.
You can reduce edge distortion by increasing the TV display's horizontal
size or contrast.

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
GT 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.
