TVs. It allows you to control two computers using only one USB keyboard and mouse and one
HDMI or DVI-D equipped monitor. The switch can be used with both PCs and Macs and
supports connection to a USB 2.0 hub which means you can connect and switch your
peripherals too. Switching between computers is achieved using the supplied remote control,

Overscan and Computer video output to TV monitors via HDMI or DVI-D HD-Ready ports
If you intend to connect a TV then make sure it is capable of supporting the resolution and
refresh rates for your computer’s graphic cards. It may be necessary to adjust the display
properties from within the options menu of your TV to turn off the “Overscan” function if your
display appears incorrect, or cropped. Your TV’s options menu may refer to one of the following
depending on make and model, look for Pixel to Pixel, True Pixel, Full Pixel, Non Scaled,
Underscan, Overscan or similar.
Overscan has been employed by televisions since their introduction. TVs are set to display a
smaller area of the picture than what is received in order to ensure there will not be any black
borders around the picture. This overscan is due to the TV settings and not the devices sending
the signal to the TV. Only the most recent flat screen TVs allow this overscan to be turned off so
check the user guide for your TV for more information.
