Viewing Text on a TV
A TV is designed primarily to show moving, rather than
static, images. The large dot pitch of a TV (which is fine
for moving video) will yield poor quality static images
such as text.
The small text sizes commonly used for PC desktops can
appear blurred or unclear on a TV. You can compensate
for this by using larger fonts.
To Use Larger Display Fonts
1. Access the Windows
®
Control Panel . Double-click
Display .
2. For Windows® XP, click the Appearance tab. For
Windows® Me, Windows® 2000, click the Settings
tab, the Advanced... button, then the General tab.
3. In the Font Size box, select the size you want your
displayed fonts to be.
4. Click Apply. If prompted, click Yes to restart your
PC.
Reducing Edge Distortion
When using a TV for your PC’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 PC
application you are running.
To reduce edge distortion, you can increase the TV
display’s horizontal size.
