A user has connected their computer to their television. The connection usually works fine, but when they attempt to play a high-graphics game through their HDTV the screen goes blank. The game works fine on their monitor. What is most likely the issue?
  1. The HDTV does not support the game’s required color depth.
  2. The HDTV does not support the game’s required resolution.
  3. The HDTV does not support the game’s required refresh rate.
  4. The HDTV does not support the game’s required connection.
Explanation
Answer: C - A user whose connection to their HDTV usually works except when playing a high-graphics game likely does not have an HDTV that supports the game’s requires refresh rate.

Key Takeaway: Some HDTVs do not support more than 60Hz refresh rate, and many high-graphics games can require 75Hz or more. This refresh rate is not a problem for a monitor, but for a TV can pose an issue. Since the TV is HDTV, it is unlikely that the color depth or resolution is an issue, and it is unlikely the game requires a connection other than those currently being used to connect the computer and HDTV.
