The performance of video/movies might get worse then “PC” and/or “Middle” mode, if your PC
capability is worse then above requirements.
Network bandwidth is another key factor to affect the PC to TV application. If it is under the
above requirement, the display fluency might be poor. If this is the case, it is recommended to
lower PC’s desktop resolution or switch to “PC” or “Middle” mode. Please refer to Section 7.6.3
and Section 7.6.5.
About the PC capability and supported desktop resolution, please also refer to Section 2.2.2.2,
Section 2.2.2.2, and Section 7.6.1.
