Desktop Resize on HDTV

The resize HDTV controls appear on the Adjust Desktop Size and Position page when you click the icon that represents your HD display.

You can resize the desktop appearing on your HDTV screen if your desktop is extending beyond the viewable display area or the desktop or image is not filling the entire display area. You can also use the HDTV panning feature to pan an image that may be using your HDTV's native resolution to see the areas that extend beyond your display area or resize the desktop in other ways to suite your viewing needs.

The new resolution is applied and also added to the list of resolutions for this display in the Change Resolutions page.  The resolution is also added to the resolution list within the game or application where you can select it the next time you play the game.

 


The following controls appear only under Windows XP.

Note:Selecting a value from this slider changes the size of the panning region, which is dynamically reflected in the panning region image that appears on the right side of the page.

Note: Resizing your HDTV desktop may cause video playback to be cropped.
