Question on Display Setup

[AthlonXP]

Ok Guys, I picked up a Samsung 32 inch 1080p LCD. It has 3 HDMI ports, I am using 1 for my xbox 360 and the other 2 I want to use for my pc's. The problem I have right now is that When I use the HDMI to dvi adapter to my GTX280 video card the display looks horrible. Now if I use the vga port that comes with the LCD the picture quality is good. Just wondering what that could be. Oh yeah the TV is this one:

I'm assuming that you are using the nVidia supplied DVI to HDMI dongle?

nVidia has a nice feature in their control panel that ATI doesn't have. It's in the nVidia advanced control panel under "TV output" > "advanced color settings" I think.

It allows you to select the TV Out signal over HDMI. There are two choices: RGB and YPrPb.

I just bought a 9600GT and checked out both settings, and the YPrPb caused blurry red text and a tiny bit of red/blue noise around black on white text. The RGB setting did not do this.

Can you take a photo or describe the problem? Are there black bars around a 1920x1080 image? This might be an overscan/underscan problem with the TV. There is a "just scan" setting that changes this too.

Good luck.
