How TV Display Cannot Be Used

A TV cannot be left connected to the card if two 
analog monitors are connected, even if the TV is off 
and not enabled in the software.

An analog monitor connected to the DVI-I connector 
cannot be left connected to the card when TV out is 
enabled. In both cases, your graphics card will 
become overloaded, resulting in a dim image on all 
devices.

Using a Monitor vs. Using the TV Display

Using your TV for your PC’s display is ideal for 
playing games, giving presentations, watching 
movies, and browsing the Internet. However, the 
display on your monitor may change or looked 
squashed. This 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.
