DVD quality on TV is not as good as monitor.

Issue:

DVD quality on TV is not as good as monitor.

Cause:

This issue can be caused by any of the below possibilities.

  1. Excessively long cable
  2. EMF interference
  3. Not connected directly to TV
  4. Bad DVD / Hardware

Solution:

Excessively long cable

It is recommended that the cable connecting the DVD player to the TV not be excessively long as this can cause video distortion. It is recommend that a DVD cable be 1 to 2 meters in length. 

EMF interference

If other devices or cables are near the DVD cable it is possible for EMF (Electric Magnetic Interference) to cause video distortion. Verify that no other cables are around the DVD cable and that all devices not needed are turned off.

Not connected directly to TV

If you are connecting the DVD player through the VCR or other devices the video quality will decrease slightly. If possible, attempt to connect the DVD directly to the TV.

Bad DVD / Hardware

If the video quality is extremely poor or cannot be read it is possible that the DVD itself is bad or that the DVD player attached to the computer is an old DVD player. First, verify if this DVD works in another stand-alone DVD player. If the DVD works in another stand-alone player it is likely that the DVD player you are utilizing may be an early revision incapable of playing the DVD.

If the DVD works in the computer but does not work in a stand-alone player it is likely that the DVD is bad or was created improperly and will need to be replaced.
