Anti-aliasing
</h2>

<p class="pBody">
Anti-aliasing is a technique used to smooth out the jagged edges of three- dimensional curved objects or objects with diagonal edges.
</p>

<p class="pBody">
Anti-aliasing can be set to favor either an increase in system processing performance or improved image quality:

<div class="pSmartList1"><ul class="pSmartList1">

<div class="pSmartList1"><li>Setting for performance is best used when the 3D image is animated and smoothness of motion is the most important consideration.</li></div>

<div class="pSmartList1"><li>Setting for quality is best used when having highly detailed and realistic 3D objects is the primary concern.</li></div>

<div class="pSmartList1"><li>If you are unsure of how to configure anti-aliasing, use the <b class="cBold">Let the Application Decide</b> option. Your display will automatically adjust to the application&#39;s requirements.</li></div>
