Video Output

Display Mode

Display xbmc in a window, or fullscreen on the selected screen.

Resolution

Changes the resolution that the User Interface is displayed in.

Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen

Windows: 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.
