TV Display Hardware Restrictions

A TV cannot be left connected to the graphics card if two analog monitors
are connected to your ALL-IN-WONDER® X800 Series card, even if the
TV is off and not enabled in the software.
Similarly, an analog monitor connected to the DVI-I connector should not
be left connected to your ALL-IN-WONDER® X800 Series card when TV
Out is enabled. In both cases, your ALL-IN-WONDER® X800 Series will
become overloaded, resulting in a dim image on all devices.

Using a Monitor vs. Using TV Display

Using your TV for your computer's display can be useful, however, the
display on your monitor may change or look squashed. This distortion
occurs because the display adjusts to fit the dimensions of your TV. To
correct the monitor's display, use the monitor's control buttons to adjust its
display size and position.
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.
