TV Tweak Tool for Nvidia TVTool is the ideal application for everyone who wants to use the PC as a multimedia central. The heart of the program is the control center for the TV output of nVidia graphics cards, which exceeds the possibilities offered by the driver in many ways. By programming the TV chips directly many parameters can be adjusted which are not accessible normally at all. This includes fullscreen image size on TV without black borders for example, or movie playback at natural DVD resolutions with highest picture quality. Around this core functionality TVTool contains a set of additional features. This includes soundcard control, one-click TV playback of media files, a zoom window improving readability, several hotkeys, a resize feature to make the picture fit TV screen perfectly and a lot more comfortable functions.
