First, click on “Settings” on the Windows start menu.
While “Settings” is highlighted, move the cursor so
that “control panel” is highlighted.
Navigate to the “Settings” tab on the display dialog
box.
The two key variables that apply to the TV-PC interface
are “resolution” and “colors”. The correct settings for
these two variables are:
* Screen area (sometimes called “resolution”): 1024 x
768 pixels
* Colors: “24-bit” color (might also be expressed as
“16 million colors”).
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.
