Abstract
A video display device for displaying a wide range of video signals which allows the user to freely set the screen display width and position. A request for adjusting the horizontal display width, vertical display width, horizontal display position, and vertical display position is made through a key circuit, and a microcomputer determines the state of the key circuit. The microcomputer then recalculates the horizontal expansion rate and vertical expansion rate of a scan converter, and send recalculated data to the scan converter and a PLL circuit. The scan converter and the PLL circuit converts signals to the number of picture elements displayable on the video display device in response to a request for adjustment, and changes the phase of the enable signal which indicates a display period of the video display device to adjust horizontal and vertical display positions.
