color television with a video input, try selecting
CGA 80 column. If the resulting resolution is poor,
run Setup again and select CGA 40
column.

MGA, or a Hercules MGA attached to a monochrome
monitor, choose Monochrome 80 column. (Also set
the color/mono switch on the MGA card to mono.)
tl If you have any other combination of monitor and
display adapter card, select EGA, MCGA, VGA
or
other. In addition, consult the documentation
supplied with your display adapter card.
Note
If you have two different display adapters, select the
setting for the one you want to be your primary display
adapter. The other one is your secondary adapter. A
message appears at power-on telling you whether you
are currently using your primary or secondary adapter.
