Video & Television

Video and television features are similar to those for analog for optimal viewing. Tasks in the Video & Televi-
sion pages allow you to do the following:
•  Adjust your television picture quality and video color settings for the best possible viewing in its environ-

ment.

•  Change the position and size of the desktop video to best fit your television screen.

  Adjust Video Color Settings

 

Use the controls on this page to fine tune the 
color settings for video content on your display. 
Select one of the test images to monitor your 
changes. For best results, play a video while you 
make adjustment to view the changes as they 
happen.

  Adjust Video Image Settings

 

Use the controls on this page to fine tune the 
image settings for video content on your display. 
You can choose to use inverse telecine, adjust 
edge sharpness, or apply noise filtering. For best 
results, play a video while you make adjustment 
to view the changes as they happen.

Note:
Support for some features under Windows Vista is 
in development and may not be available with your 
ForceWare graphics driver version. Consult the re-
lease notes for updated information on
supported features.
