; Display Mode
: Display xbmc in a window, or fullscreen on the selected screen.
; Display
: Changes the resolution that the User Interface is displayed in.
; Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen
: ''Windows only'' when active, do not use the DirectX fullscreen mode. The main benefit is for multi-screen configurations, where xbmc can be used at the same time as other applications without automatically minimizing. Uses a bit more resources and playback may be slightly less smooth.
; Blank other displays
: In a multi-screen configuration, the screens where xbmc is not displayed are blacked out.

====Video calibration...====
This screen allows you to calibrate the User Interface by adjusting the overscan. Use this tool if the image being displayed is too large or small for your display. '''Note:''' Always adjust your hardware display settings before XBMC's settings (such as overscan, etc). Simply adjust the screen so that the arrows are in the top left and bottom right corners and that the entire frame is visible on screen.
 
It offers the ability to adjust
*The overscan of the video -  How close to the edges of the screen that the image is displayed
*The positition where subtitles are displayed
*The position of the on screen display
*The pixel ratio - allows you calibrate the aspect ratio at which videos are played back
