|
|
|
| Q10: |
What
are the limitations of ATI's HDTV Component Video Adapter?
|
|
|
| A10: |
Images are overscanned:
TVs overscan images, typically 5%, and this can result
in part of the image being cut off the display. The amount
of the image not seen will vary with each HDTV and between
each timing chosen, for example more overscanning may
be noticeable with 1080i than 480i. The effect is minimized
with 720p, therefore, if your HDTV supports 720p, it is
recommended to use this mode.
