Just got new acer computer, plugged it into old monitor via VGA cable, nothing appeared on the screen. After trying many things to get it to work I decided to try and connect it to my little (18inch) LCD ALBA tv via a HDMI cable, it worked. The problem is that the picture quality is terrible, the text is fuzzy and there's hardly any sharpness to images. I've tried adjusting the resolution and it is currently on its native setting which looks best. Tv is currently set to 1080p.

Why is the quality so bad? Is it because of the TV, is it because of HDMI cable.

Also the new computer has a nvida geforce graphics card in case that has anything to do with it.

Thank you to anyone that replies.
