•
Type of connection used —You can connect the Media
Center computer video output to a TV. However, the
connection type has an affect on the video quality. The
Media Center has two video outputs:
•
VGA —If your TV includes a VGA port, connect the
VGA cable from the Media Center computer’s VGA
(monitor) port to the TV’s VGA In port for the best
quality. Many TVs do not have a VGA port.
•
S-Video —If your TV does not have a VGA port, but
includes an S-Video port, connect the S-Video cable
from the Media Center computer’s S-Video Out port
to the TV’s S-Video In port. S-Video display quality
is usually good for TV images. The display quality for
the Media Center computer functions, however, is
not as good as VGA output. S-Video display output
is not optimized for computer video display.
•
Quality of video cables —Poor quality or the incorrect
type of video cables can cause problems and affect the
video quality. Gateway recommends using high-quality
video cables that can be purchased from the Gateway
Accessory Store.
•
Screen resolution —By default, if your display device
was purchased with the Media Center computer, the
computer uses a screen resolution of 1024 × 768 for
computer monitors and 800 × 600 for the Gateway
42inch Plasma TV. Many TVs cannot display this high of
a resolution and may shift, scramble, or scroll the
picture. For a better picture on a TV display, you may
need to lower the Media Center screen resolution to
800 × 600 or 640 × 480.
Important
Cable connections must be made correctly for optimal video
quality. A poor cable connection can lower video quality.
Tip
For more information about changing the screen resolution, see
“Adjusting the screen resolution” in the online User Guide.
