280902 - television in armoir. ref SDS 20 ES43
280904 - ..
280905 - Planning to move 42" Vizio television from Armoir into office,
280906 - reported on 150409 0607. ref SDS 22 ER5H
280908 - ..
280909 - This morning moved the table 42" long x 18" wide x 37" high, which was
280910 - removed yesterday, back in front of the desk and next to the West wall
280911 - of the office beneath the window.
280913 - ..
280914 - Placed the old 32" Vizio television on the 42" long x 18" wide x 37"
280915 - high table in front of the desk and next to the wall.
280917 - ..
280918 - Removed the 2 TV trays setup yesterday in front of the desk, reported
280919 - on 150409 0607. ref SDS 22 JI3K
280921 - ..
280922 - Moved the table 18" x 14" x 31.5" next to the bed in the front bedroom
280923 - into the office, and next to the 42" long table in front of the desk.
280924 - Had to rearrange the cabling for the computers, router, network, and
280925 - keyboard control unit to make room for the table.
280927 - ..
280928 - Removed screws securing the door clasps from the inside ceiling of the
280929 - Armoir. Then slid the 42" Vizio television forward to the edge of the
280930 - shelf, and lifted it carefully from the armoir. Carried it into the
280931 - office and set it on the table 18" x 14" x 31.5", just moved from the
280932 - front bedroom into the office.
280934 - ..
280935 - The 42" television is about 2" higher than the 32" television sitting
280936 - on the 37" high table.
280938 - ..
280939 - Need a table for the 42" Vizio television that is about 2" lower,
280940 - i.e., 29.5" high instead of 31.5, in order for the 2 monitors present
280941 - a parallel line. The table also needs to be at least 10" longer to
280942 - close the gap to the 42" Long x 37" high adjacent table. This will
280943 - provide a better appearance, and also give support to the many cables
280944 - that connect the router and the modem together and to computers at
280945 - both ends of the desk.
280947 - ..
280948 - The workstation desk is 28.5" high, reported on 150409 0607.

280956 - Moved the night table that was supporting the 42" Vizio television,
280957 - that was moved from the front bedroom earlier this morning, per above,
280958 - ref SDS 0 OM5K, back into the front bedroom.

281301 - Moved the 2 television food trays back in front of the desk, and
281302 - placed the 42" Vizio television back onto the TV trays. The top of
281303 - the 42" television was then about 2" below the top of the 32" Vizio
281304 - television on the adjacent table 42" long x 18" wide x 37" high table,
281305 - setup earlier this morning, per above. ref SDS 0 CS5G
281307 - ..
281308 - Found in the backyard a 2x4 and a 2x2 each about 30" long. They are
281309 - weathered from exposure to the elements the past 10 years, but still
281310 - servicable for this purpose.
281312 - ..
281313 - Placed these flat across the 2 TV trays.
281315 - ..
281316 - There is a wood member with a black finish and measuring about 18" x
281317 - 30" x .5" that has been used in the office as an arm rest and mouse
281318 - area on the moveable table that forms an L work surface for the desk.
281319 - Placed this solid wood member on top of the 2x4 and 2x2 to form a
281320 - table surface. The wood panel has a finish piece along one side, so
281321 - this covers the 2x4 rough lunber.
281323 - ..
281324 - Moved the 42" Vizio televison onto this composite assemblage. The top
281325 - of the 42" Vizio television and the top of the old 32" television on
281326 - the adjacent 37" high table are now nearly the same.
281330 - ..
281331 - This accomplishes objectives for physical setup of the monitors, and
281332 - maintains open space for servicing cables in front of the desk, and
281333 - beneath the tables that support the 2 monitors.

281701 - Problems with 42" Vizio television connected as a display for

281703 -
281704 - 1. Color of desktop and brightness needs to be adjusted.
281706 - ..
281707 - 2. Black bar border needs to be eliminated.
281709 - ..
281710 - Had difficult time setting color scheme on 42" Vizio connected to c18
281711 - to provide excellent color scheme with the older 32" Vizio connected
281712 - to c20. Ultimately, was unable to accomplish this objective. The
281713 - old Vizio 32" television purchased about 6 years ago, displays
281714 - blacks, whites, reds much brighter and deeper than the much newer 42"
281715 - Vizio.
281717 - ..
281718 - There are several ways to adjust color scheme of 42" Vizio monitor...
281719 -
281720 - 1. Display menu.
281721 -
281722 - The remote control has a "Menu" button. It opens a list

281730 - Movies
281731 - Vivid
281732 - Football
281733 - Baseball, etc
281735 - ..
281736 - After trying many these choices, selecting "Vivid" seems to
281737 - give the best picture. Each choice has further setting
281738 - options for brightness, contrast, tint, etc. Each can be
281739 - set individually. Was unable to set any of these options
281740 - to yield a better image, and nothing close to the 32"
281741 - Vizio television.
281743 - ..
281744 - 2. Windows 7 Control Panel
281745 - Appearance and Personalization
281746 - Change Desktop Background
281748 - ..
281749 - Tried selecting a "blue/green" color, similar to the
281750 - desktop for c21 and c20.
281752 - ..
281753 - This color does not display the same choice as it does on
281754 - c21 and c20.
281756 - ..
281757 - Tried editing the color specification with the "More"
281758 - choice for the selected color.
281760 - ..
281761 - Tried to set c18 to same numerical color specifications
281762 - for c20, but the 42" Vizio television does not display the
281763 - specification with identical colors, and the same for c21.
281765 - ..
281766 - 3. Catalyst Control for the AMD 7950 video adapter
281767 -
281768 - Right click on desktop - opens menu with...
281769 -
281770 - Catalyst Control Center
281771 -
281772 - ...at the top of the desktop menu.
281774 - ..
281775 - When this run, the operating system reported that the
281776 - Catalyst Control software was not installed.
281778 - ..
281779 - The installation software is located at...
281780 -
281781 - G:\00\c18\drivers\video\Radeon HD 7950\12-8_vista_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc.exe
281783 - ..
281784 - Ran installation for Radeon HD 7950 driver to re-install
281785 - the Catalyst Control Center. The installation program
281786 - reported the software was already installed.
281788 - ..
281789 - Tried installing the setup software again to replace an
281790 - evidently failed Catalyst Control Center installation.
281792 - ..
281793 - After the software installed, it automatically booted the
281794 - computer to complete installation. The computer desktop
281795 - failed to display. Tried the Input feature on the
281796 - television remote control. This may have changed the HDMI
281797 - port, which blocked signals from the computer to the
281798 - display.
281800 - ..
281801 - Other problems occurred. These were eventually solved by
281802 - powering down the computer, without using a Windows 7
281803 - Shutdown, since the desktop failed to display.
281805 - ..
281806 - Catalyst Control Center then executed.
281808 - ..
281809 - This has a choice for configuring desktop color scheme,
281810 - similar to the Control Panel, per above. ref SDS 0 WH9J

282203 - 130709 0910. ref SDS 19 SK8N
282205 - ..
282206 - C20 has about 800 GB space on drive c, so will keep the Tivo movies
282207 - directory there. They will only be temporary, since drives K 4 TB,
282208 - and L with 6 TB on c21 are permenant storage for movies.
