Resolution setting apparatus, resolution setting method, and recording medium recording a resolution setting program when a television is used as a monitor of a computer

A resolution setting apparatus when a monitor device, which is set to make display of an overscan device, is connected to a computer, which executes a display process of an underscan device, with a digital interface, and the monitor device is used as a monitor of the computer, comprising:

• a determining unit determining whether or not an interface, which is connected to the computer, is the digital interface, which is connectable to the monitor device, before an operation for accepting terms and conditions of a license agreement of first basic software is performed;
• a setting unit causing a resolution or a display mode, which is output from the computer, to be set on second basic software with an external input so that an entire display screen of the underscan device, which is output from the computer, lies within a display screen of the overscan device, if said determining unit determines that the interface is the digital interface that is connectable to the monitor device;
• and
• a reflecting unit reflecting the resolution or the display mode, which is set by said setting unit, on settings of the first basic software.

A computer-readable recording medium on which is recorded a program for causing a processing unit to execute a control process) for setting a resolution when a television is used as a monitor of a computer in the computer having a digital interface that is connectable to the television, the control process comprising:

• a determining step of determining whether or not an interface, which is connected to the computer, is the digital interface, which is connectable to the television, before an operation for accepting terms and conditions of a license agreement of first basic software is performed;
• a setting step of causing the resolution or the display mode, which is output from the computer, to be set on second basic software with an external input if said determining step determines that the interface is the digital interface that is connectable to the television;
• and
• a reflecting step of reflecting the resolution or the display mode, which is set by said setting step, on settings of the first basic software.

A resolution setting method when a television is used as a monitor of a computer in the computer having a digital interface that is connectable to the television, comprising:

• a determining step of determining whether or not an interface, which is connected to a main body method(device?) is the digital interface, which is connectable to the television, before an operation for accepting terms and conditions of a license agreement of first basic software is performed;
• a setting step of causing a resolution or a display mode, which is output from the computer, to be set on second basic software with an external input if the determining step determines that the interface is the digital interface that is connectable to the television;
• and
• a reflecting step of reflecting the resolution or the display mode, which is set by the setting step, on settings of the first basic software.
