I recently purchased a HDMI cable to run from my XFX Radeon 6870 to my TV, to allow me to use it as a second monitor. At first I had some black screen issues, but now I can actually use it as a monitor.
The problem is, that the resolution/image quality on the TV (second monitor) is horrific.
I don't think it's an issue with the 6870 - I took a screenshot of my desktop and the image quality looked fine. It's just the visual on the TV itself which is displaying a poor quality image. I've tried multiple resolutions, refresh rates, all to no avail.
The TV is a Samsung LE19R86BDX/XEU, and I'm using the HDMI/DVI In port.
Any resolution suffers from the low quality issue.
Using the "Recommended" resolution of 1440x900 results in a "Mode Not Supported" screen on the TV.
I'll include a screenshot so you can see that the image quality is great in theory, however on the actual TV it's grainy, low quality, and the colours are distorted. http://oi49.tinypic.com/9pnh40.jpg
Thanks for your help!
