A picture outputting apparatus in which a plurality of picture signals are selectively entered and displayed on a screen with a picture mode matched to the input picture signals. An optimum screen mode is individually stored in terms of input terminals to which picture signals are entered or the frequencies of the input picture signals. A plurality of picture signals are selectively entered at input units I.sub.1 to I.sub.6. The screen modes are set in association with the plurality of the picture signals. A storage unit 17 stores the screen mode information as set by the setting units 9, 10. A display unit 147 displays a picture corresponding to the optional picture signals selectively entered at the input units I.sub.1 to I.sub.6. A judgment unit 15 judges the sorts of the picture signals entered at the input units I.sub.1 to I.sub.6. A controller 146 controls the display unit 147, based upon the results of the judgment unit 15, so that a picture corresponding to an optional one of the picture signals entered at the input units I.sub.1 to I.sub.6 will be displayed on the screen with the screen mode matched to the optional picture signal.
