Your Video card apparently has a TV out connection and the drivers would
have been installed with the video drivers.
Might I suggest you go to the NVidea website and search for the latest and
greatest drivers for your particular video card.
Install them following the directions on the website.The TV might just
disappear at that point.
Also try to load the .icm file that corresponds to your monitor and you will
be able to change from plug&pray to your specific model.
