the signal is not decoded correctly, the video either
flashes or shows colored snow.
• Make sure that the output device is directly plugged
into the monitor (remove any video
switchers/receivers).
• Unplug the HDMI or DVI cable to reestablish a
connection with the output device.
• Stop and restart the output device to allow
renegotiation.
Gaming support
Your games do not have support for widescreen displays.
• Newer games are adding support for widescreen
displays as the widescreen format becomes more
popular. Check the game’s Web site for updates. You can
also consult the following Web site for specific settings
and options to configure older games to support
widescreen: www.widescreengamingforum.com
. Some
adjustments may require you to make changes to the
Windows System Registry. We recommend making a
complete system backup before changing the System
Registry.
