I recently just purchased a new HDTV with a buddy of mine for use in our dorm next year. We decided on a Westinghouse Black 32" 16:9 8ms LCD HDTV LTV-32W6 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16889234016)
But I have one small issue and I'm not sure if it's the TV or some settings and hopefully someone can help me out.
At first, all I had was a VGA cable and it looks beautiful plugging in through VGA, but I know digital is a bit better and so I bought a DVI>HDMI cable to plug into the tv. I have tried every HD signal type output mixed with every resolution to try and get the screen to appear clearly, but the best digital signal I get doesn't even compare to the VGA. The text is blurry and slightly scrambled. Unfortunately I can't take a screenshot to explain exactly what I'm talking about because it only comes up this way on the display.
My main concern is that the laptop I just bought is only HDMI out and I was hoping to be able to use it as a media center on occasion but if the output looks like this, it won't be very possible.
I'm using Windows Vista x86 with a GeForce 7800 GS and the latest nVidia drivers. The same problem reoccured with a different cable and using a Mac Book Pro DVI output.
