How TV Display Cannot Be Used 39
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.
Switching to a larger display font
1 Access the Display Properties dialog by right-clicking on the desktop
or navigating through Windows®
Control Panel .
2 Click the Settings tab, the Advanced button, and then the General
tab.
3 In the Display section, select Large (120 DPI) from the Font Size
(or DPI Setting ) drop-down list.
4 Click Apply . If prompted, click Yes to restart your Computer.
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.
Increasing the horizontal size of a TV display
