Configuration

After installing your HDTV panel to your PC, you may need to change the video input, thru one of the panel's buttons in order to get you PC image on the HDTV screen. After this you will need to change the screen resolution. This can be done thru the Video icon on Control Panel.

You will face some issues. First, as we explained, every HDTV panel has its own native resolution. So the image will be perfect only when you configure the video to use to use your HDTV panel native resolution.

Secondly, HDTV is wide screen (16:9 aspect ratio) and you will need to adjust the image position on the screen thru Windows video properties.

Another problem you may face is if you try to configure your panel in a resolution it doesn't support and get the image all scrambled. If this happens, just choose another resolution.
