Using Your TV as a Computer (PC) Display

How to Set up Your PC Software (Windows only)

The Windows display-settings for a typical computer are shown below. However, the
actual screens on your PC will probably look different, depending upon your particular
version of Windows and your particular video card. Even if your actual screens look
different, the same, basic set-up information will apply in most cases.
(If not, contact your computer manufacturer or Samsung Dealer.)


First, click on “Settings” on the
Windows start menu.

While “Settings” is highlighted,
move the cursor so that “Control
Panel” is highlighted.

When the control panel screen
appears, click on “Display” and a
display dialog-box will appear.

Navigate to the “settings” tab on
the display dialog-box.

The two key variables that apply
the TV-PC interface are “resolution”
and “colors.” The correct settings
for these two variables are:

* Size (sometimes called
“resolution”): 1280 x 768 pixels
If a vertical-frequency option exists
on your display settings dialog box,
the correct value is “60” or “60 Hz”.
Otherwise, just click “OK” and exit
the dialog box.

* See “Display Modes” on page 59.
