The RGB loop-out displays the same signal as the RGB In video input source. To connect your external monitor: Connect the RGB connector on your monitor to the RGB Out connector on the back of your plasma TV. The maximum physical display resolution of the external monitor is 640 × 480 when the aspect ratio is set to 4:3, and 852 × 480 when the ratio is set to 16:9. If the computer's display resolution exceeds these maximums, the external monitor eliminates the extra dots which results in a loss of detail and picture clarity. www. gateway. com 31 Chapter 2: Connecting Components 32 www. gateway. com Adjusting Your Plasma TV Settings Read this chapter to learn how to adjust your plasma TV settings from the on-screen display (OSD).
