You are correct, I use the TV as a second monitor, mainly to watch video
on the TV so the whole family can easily see it. I have an S-Video
cable (s-video on both ends) and yes, I get color.
As for which settings are for the TV only, I cannot tell you, but I
think the message that Don Hayward wrote has all the information. The
TVOverScan is a new one to me as well.
