re: Trying to use tv as a second monitor Thursday, March 19, 2009 at 10:47 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by C K (6910 messages posted) Doesn't upset anyone, it's just that hardware issues aren't the focus here. Your issue isn't a problem with the OS.. The video drivers for the video card, specifications on it's outputs, and the limitations of a typical TV set (max res of SVHS is 800X600) would be the issue for external NTSC monitors.. XP doesn't have any control over the drivers or the hardware actually. It just coordinates and directs data as presented from, or to, the drivers, which in turn control and communicate with the hardware through the operating system.. The operating system is like the hiway system, with signaling to and from your house to another destination and back again. It's not supposed to be changing the data along the way.. ;-) If it does, then we start looking for malware and rootkits...
