tv as monitor = pixely

Hi so I have a 22in samsung LED 1080p and im using it as my second monitor, my 1080p asus monitor is just fine tho and they are both connected by hdmi and are both set to 1920x1080 resolution. My problem is that the quality seems really off like images and text are not smooth and they are kind of pixely like anti aliasing or something... wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if anyone knows a solution.

thanks, i looked through my graphics cards settings and there was an option for hdtv 1080p, it helped a little bit.

in my personal opinion having seen both and led and lcd 720p tv used as a screen before.. i prefer the lcd the LED looks grainy to me

I've never had that issue. But on some LEDs the blacks are a little too bright.

you mean aliasing

anti aliasing is good, aliasing is bad

after 2 weeks i finally fixed it... I lowered the resolution from 1980x1080 to 1600x900 and changed the picture size from wide fit to 16:9

I have a 24" Dynex (Best Buy Special) 1080p LCD TV that I'm using as a monitor. Works great at 1080p.
