Pixalated desktop??

I recently upgraded to a 32'" Sharp Aquos as my computer screen. Most games run great e.g., the new Tomb Raider Anniversary. DVD playback is excelent. However almost all the text on Windows desktop is really blurry or should I say very pixalated, it is like there is no anti-aliasing. No problem with max anti-aliasing in games. It is almost impossible to read web pages without zooming in with IE. Even the icons on the desktop are pretty bad. Windows Vista Aero is completly disabled. Running Windows Vista Home Premium, on a high end CyberPowerPC.com rig with Dual Nvidia 7950 gt 512MB, 750W power supply, 2GB ram, 200GB HDD, AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ Dual-Core, Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe. Drivers are up to date. I connected the screen with a DVI to HDMI cable. Resolution is set to 1768*992 resolution at 30 Hrtz. 60Hrtz is not listed with that resolution. 1920*1080 zooms in too much and cuts off the edges. DPI change doesn't fix problem, nor font size. Please help...! I can barely read what I am typing...

The good thing is that you can help aleviate the issue. Just do some googling around with some keywords (tv as monitor text blurry, etc) and you'll come across some sights that will have you set the timings to better fit your tv. :)
 
The refresh rate for mine is what..59.6sumthin9? I don't think it's the refresh rate but the fact that an monitor lcd's are fixed pixel.. or something like that....?

I really dunno.
 
Lower resolution at 60Hrtz made the screen completly illegible. Currently, SLI is disabled, enabaling SLI makes the screen flicker and wont' run any games. I click on a game, the screen goes black and makes the computer restart, which then goes to the safe mode, normal mode prompt. Very strange. Is this problem fixable or did I just waste $1300? Please help, getting super frustrated.
 
I run on a 32" LCD, but I use the VGA cable, and everything is fine. But I also sit 3 feet away from the screen. Refresh rate is at 60 and resolution is 1280 X 768.
 
Is it a TV or monitor? When i plug my computer into out 42" LCD it's really blurry, but when i use my brothers 32" Monitor it's fine.
 
It is a TV. No luck with any changes to resolution, or DPI changes. However I did replace the DVI to HDMI cable with a component video cable, which did make the pixalation/blurriness somewhat better. Text is more legibale now. Thanks for the feedback. I'll try VGA cables next.
