The Media Center video display looks bad on your TV
Many factors, such as the display type, quality of the video
source, type of connection used, quality of video cables,
display device screen resolution, size of TV, age of the TV, or
the type of TV (interlaced or progressive scan), can affect the
video quality significantly:
• Display type—The Media Center is best viewed on
display devices that were offered with the Media Center
computer when you purchased it from Gateway. Other
types of display devices, including retail TVs, may
provide lower quality video. If you did not order a
display device when you purchased your Media Center
computer, a progressive scan display device with a VGA
input is the best choice.
• Quality of video source—The quality of the video
signal coming into the Media Center computer has an
affect on the video quality. The video displayed from the
Media Center is only as good as the source video signal.
Cable, digital cable, and satellite usually provide better
quality than an antenna.
• Type of connection used—You can connect the Media
Center computer video output to a TV. However, the
connection type has an affect on the video quality. The
Media Center has two video outputs:
• VGA—If your TV includes a VGA port, connect the
VGA cable from the Media Center computer’s VGA
(monitor) port to the TV’s VGA In port for the best
quality. Many TVs do not have a VGA port.
