Marine Aquarium on an HDTV

dimerylaw · 11-18-2009, 10:31 PM

Hello, I'm new to this forum but I do have a question. I tried to run my old version on my HDTV and it will not work on my 50" flat screen. My friend said that the resolution on the TV was not compatible with the MA program.

Question: Is there a version of MA that is compatibe with a 50" plasma screen resolution running from a computer to an HDTV?

Thanks! Carlton

Not sure why you had trouble running Marine Aquarium (or indeed any application) while your computer was plugged into an HDTV. But Marine Aquarium 3 has a much higher resolution coral background so should look really good on your 50" TV. Can you tell us what kind of cable you used from the computer to the TV, and what kind of computer you've got?

If you see a picture on the screen when the computer is connected then you want MA to use the same resolution as the computer - try choosing "automatic" in display settings inside MA.
