Hi,
Just received my new computer and everything seems to be working well apart from I can't seem to get the HDMI output to properly work with my TV.
I am using my HDTV for a monitor but when I connect the PC to it via a HDMI cable the picture quality is fuzzy and does not look very HD at all. Using a very old VGA cable I am able to get much sharper and clearer images and I find this very odd. Why is the HDMI cable giving me such poor picture quality? What am I doing wrong?
I spent an hour or so testing all the different resolutions and things on the AMD VISION Control Centre and none of them provide a picture anywhere near as crisp as my VGA cable. The best I managed to get on HDMI was at 1280x800 but even then it didnt perfectly fit my TV screen and the quality wasn't great.
