text look readable. Some small display devices do not
make colorful motion video look its best. Generally,
video will look better on a larger display device.
•
Age of the TV—Newer TVs usually have more advanced
features, produce a better quality picture, and support
higher screen resolutions. The video display will likely be
better on a newer model TV.

Type of TV (interlaced or progressive scan)
Many CRT (tube) TVs use interlaced video. Interlaced
video displays a video frame with two passes of
alternating scan lines. The TV screen first displays the
video image odd lines one at a time, sequentially from
top to bottom, then it fills in the other half of the video
image with the even lines. Because most TVs use this
interlaced method to display the picture on the screen,
a standard interlaced analog TV will most likely flicker
when displaying thin lines and small text. An interlaced
video display device will produce a lower quality display,
especially when viewing and using the notebook
functions.
Progressive scan video displays a video frame with one
pass of sequential scan lines. A progressive scan TV
displays the entire picture, drawn sequentially from top
to bottom, without the odd/even interlacing. This results
in a fuller, sharper picture and better display quality for
viewing and using the Media Center functions. The
progressive scan picture is also brighter and easier on
your eyes.
You need to configure your notebook to output to a TV

You want to change display settings to get better TV or DVD
image quality
•

You want to know whether you can burn videos that were
recorded in Media Center mode to a DVD
•
Yes, you can. The Media Center saves recorded videos in
the DVR-MS format. You can burn a DVR-MS file to a DVD
with DVD recording (burning) software, such as
Power2Go, and with the Media Center itself.
