Using ATI Catalyst™ Control Center - Display Options: ATI Radeon™ HD 2400 Pro User's Guide


Display Options


ATI Catalyst™ Control Center: Display Options (Sample)

The Display Options aspect gives you additional control to optimize performance of OpenGL® and Direct 3D® applications.

Use 3D Refresh Rate Override to set a refresh rate of your choice when a full-screen application or game has a default refresh rate that is lower than optimal.

Choose one of the Display Detection Options to prevent screen flicker when detecting a display.


Select a refresh rate override

NOTE: On systems running Windows Vista™ the 3D Refresh Rate Override is not supported since refresh rate is better controlled by Windows Vista™.

Some applications may have a default refresh rate lower than the optimal setting for your monitor. 3D Refresh Rate Override enables you to set the refresh rate for full-screen applications or games utilizing Microsoft® DirectX® or OpenGL®. You can either set an explicit refresh rate, or make the refresh rate the same as the desktop, or disable this feature allowing the application to set the refresh rate.

  1. From the Graphics Settings tree, click Display Options.
  2. Select the desired refresh rate from the 3D Refresh Rate Override drop-down menu.

Determine how display devices are detected

Use this feature to determine how the ATI Catalyst™ Control Center detects display devices connected to your computer. You can set the ATI Catalyst™ Control Center to automatically detect all connected display devices when it is opened or you can manually detect connected devices when they are required.

NOTE: By default ATI Catalyst™ Control Center automatically detects the displays on systems running Windows® XP. On systems running Windows Vista™, manual detection is the default.

  1. From the Graphics Settings tree, click Display Options.
  2. Click either
    • Detect whenever Catalyst® Control Center is opened.

or

    • Use manual detection only (I must click Detect Displays button).

NOTE: The Detect Displays button is located on the Displays Manager page.

Force TV Detection

Use Force TV Detection if your TV is not automatically detected by the ATI Catalyst™ Control Center and does not appear in the Displays Manager page. This may be the case if your TV has non-standard inputs.

NOTE: If Force TV Detection is required to detect your TV some features that rely on automatic detection, such as extended desktop, will not be supported.

  1. From the Graphics Settings tree, click Display Options.
  2. Click Force TV detection enables this feature.

NOTE: This option is not available if the installed graphics card does not support TV Out.

Set resolution modes for devices with limited resolution capabilities

  1. From the Graphics Settings tree, click Display Options.
  2. Select one of the following from the For displays of limited resolution capabilities drop-down menu:
    • List only those modes supported by all displays
    • Only allow panning on limited-resolution displays
    • List all possible modes (including panning modes).

Please read all restrictions and disclaimers.
