I have bought a new tv for my office that i plug in my Sky viewing box and for a second monitor. The channels on the sky look great but when it comes to using it as a monitor the resolution on it only goes up to 1600 x 1400 with the VGA. So i connect it via HDMi cable and that brings out the 1920 x 1080 resolution but poor quality. The words are all jaggid and the colours are too strong. I have altered the colours using windows colour correction and i have got it to a good stage. I have also tinkered with the clear text that made not much difference. I contacted Hitachi and they said call there technical hotline, but before i do that can anyone help me? Im running Windows 7 64bit. My main monitor is 1920 x 1080 with the DVI cable and the computer has an HDMi and a VGA output. Please help.

Tv model : Hitachi 22LE6560U

This says it all.

I had the same problem with my old 1080i HDTV, this fixed it.

Interesting. I have a positively antique computer hooked up to an HD monitor and even though it's at an unimpressive resolution it doesn't look bad.

What video card are you using? Have you downloaded the most recent drivers for it?

Thanks for the answer my graphics card is and ATI Premium Graphics Radeon HD 5450 1gb DDR3 and yes that was one of things i did was to update the drivers but they were up-to-date.

I don't know how helpful it is, but this site http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/ati-radeon-hd-5000/hd-5450-overview/pages/hd-5450-overview.aspx#2 lists the exact interfaces on that video card. According to this, HDMI has a max resolution of 1920x1200, so if you want the best possible look from your monitor I suggest dual-link DVI.

Hmm but Windows and the Driver application says is displaying 1920 x 1080 even through the HDMi cable. But before i ran my computer on my living room TV and that displayed 1920 x 1080 through HDMi and the picture was stunning. I wonder if the TV needs an firmwire update. I was before using the VGA then i remembered that i had an HDMi cable. Thanks for the answer

Yeah I'm afraid you're looking at Hitachi's tech support then, if it looks fine on another tv. Is it a new tv that you can in theory return?

Possibly, thanks for the answer.

You probably have a 10.X version of the CCC, update to the 11.X and you will see the options I have. :)
