Introduction:

Certain video cards have the ability to add practically every video mode you could think of. The only reason certain modes are not included in the default driver setting is that they have either not thought about them or found them unnecessary.

I have always wondered why Display Cards don't have TV-Standard display modes, sure some cards from ATI did have these modes, but usually not all of them.

To that end I've investigated how these modes are actually generated, and from what I've seen, it was quite simple, so I played around a bit with my NVIDIA card and managed to create entries for several new modes. By looking at similar information from other card vendors I'm assuming that most other cards can also have these modes added in exactly the same fashion, so this feature lists all found card-entries.

These functions will not be registered until you either restart windows or log out (and back in).
