My friend gave me his 24" Monitor because he was upgrading, I came home and tried to plug in my HDMI cable into the back (I have heard that a TV has poor judgement on HDMI and that a dedicated monitor is better) but the resoultion was WAY OFF and the picture actually began to hurt my eyes.
The weird thing is that when I go into Screen Resolution the native suggested is 1280x720 even though the TV is HD 1080p - I have tried using CCC to configure it and I managed to force a resolution that fitted the screen perfectly but the picture was awful; it was blurry and was painful to look at as it was 980i at 30hz and CCC's LCD compatbile presets weren't of any use (1920x1080p @ 60hz was just distorted and terrible).
Can anyone help me? The monitor worked fine for my friend, also using HDMI.
Thanks in advance.
