I just built a new pc and everything's working great. I just downloaded crisis because I heard it was great but also taxing on most pcs. I thought it would be a good test for my build. I have my pc hooked up to a 720p LED tv for now as I have yet to get a monitor. I think the TVs a 32 inch. When I started playing crisis it wasn't full screen, with a little tinkering I got it to full screen but image seemed blurry almost lagged I guess. I'm wondering if my build is sufficient for this game and could it be the TV that I'm using. Battlefield hardline looks great and also heard that was a difficult game to run. I haven't overclocked anything. Any info would be appreciated. Also I was wondering with this build could I get a better display than 1080p. Trying to figure out which monitor or tv to buy. My build is listed below.

Sorry I don't fully understand. My TV is not very good its a dynex. I wasn't able to adjust ratio from tv or atleast haven't figured out how to do so yet. Only way I could figure out to change ratio is from computer display settings. Do you have any suggestions on weather I should get monitor or TV. Id like to get a new TV and use it for computer if it will work well. Also what should I look for as far as specs for TV.

of course .... a way easier from computer
i talked about the components difference between tv and your gpu card ...so maybe you can adjust the setting from the gpu card from the driver
