Optimizing TV as Monitor for PC use
I currently have my PC connected to a Sony 46inch TV. It's a HDTV capable of outputting 1080p. I didn't have any problems connecting but the picture is really blurry even at max resolution of 1920x1280. Any ideas how to solve that problem?

I might not have been clear on the definition of "blurry". What I meant by that was that the picture is not as crisp clear as you would see on a regular computer monitor. The picture seems degraded, not crisp. Any idea why? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self
