Component Video Settings You must configure settings to view component video on your TV properly. Component video output requires specific configurations for certain display types and resolutions. Go to http://www.hp.com/support and select your model number for instructions on using component video. Overview You must change the default desktop resolution of 800 x 600 to 640 x 480 for the best DVD playback and Media Center experience. A resolution of 800 x 600 is best for Windows desktop dialog boxes. See "Adjusting the Desktop Display" on page 143. The component video default output is 480i (interlaced) to provide a picture on most TVs. Driver adjustments are required to configure progressive scan for TVs that support progressive scan. Progressive scan format provides a better desktop viewing experience than interlaced format.
