Ok, today I finally took some time and tried my new LCD TV with my PC. TWO things:

1- First of all something weird happened: my TV is a NOBLEX 32LC831HT. Accordingly with the retailers and even (i think) the manufacturer this TV's resolution should be 1366x768, but my PC's opinion differs completely, it says that its native resolution is 1920x1080. Now i was doing some testing with a 1080 movie I have and I think I can feel the difference for the best if the TV is set to 1920x1080 than 1366x768.

2- Thre second thing is I don't know how to calibrate the screen in order to be able to read all text properly

Thanks in advance

How is the TV connected to the PC - VGA, HDMI, DVI, etc. ?

What does "in order to be able to read all text properly" mean?
Is the problem the text is too small, too large, too blurry, etc. ?

You can right-click on the desktop:
then click "Screen resolution"
then click "Make text and other items larger or smaller"
You can then try adjustments and tweaks to see what works best for you.
If you have CCC installed, that also has a lot of options available.
