The Power Macintosh 8500 includes a high performance chip set, which is capable of doubling the size of the video image displayed when outputting video to television. This feature could be useful for viewing video because movies will appear to be played back at full screen. These resolutions do not affect the actual data being displayed, but they do magnify the size of the image.
Follow these steps to enable resolution doubling:
Step 1
------
Follow the instructions in your User's Guide to display video on television.
Step 2
------
At the Finder, select the Monitor Resolution module (checkerboard) in the Control Strip. (Or, you can change the resolutions using the Sound & Displays control panel.)
Step 3
------
Select 256x192 for hardware doubled underscan (leaves a border like a computer display) or 320x240 for hardware doubled overscan (full frame, picture goes to edge like a television display)
