I bought a DVI-I dual link so that I could switch to digital from my analog VGA cable. I can see the desktop but it looks like crap, words are blurry, my icons are out of the screen, and it flickers.

I have a Gforce 6800GT with VGA and DVI out, my TV is a Magnavox 32" LCD 32MF605W. I run a Celeron 2.7Ghz with 1gig of ram my Mboard is a Biostar P4VTB ver.1.1.

I played with my TV and read the manual, it did suggest that the DVI channel should not be used for the PC but I dont understand why. If there is ne help out there pls assist thank you.
 
Well your computer resolution is probably really high 1024X something... Try the lowest. I think most tvs are in the range of like 400x600.
 
I just tried every res setting and have no good results. The TV is an LCD with PC support through a VGA cable. The TV also has a DVI, S-video, Component, and AV channels, I am trying to use the DVI for my PC instead of the actual VGA channel.

Thanks for your advice but that didn't seem to help.
 
The resolution of that TV is apparently 1366x768. If you can get the native resolution, it should be quite clear...

Trizoy - Read the posts more carefully and learn the formats :P HD-TVs are much higher res's than your typical CRT, which is 720x480 for NTSC.
 
Villainstone, you should be able to make the 2nd screen (TV) a custom resolution from within the nVidia drivers.
 
I tried making a customer aspect ratio through Nvidia Desktop Tray for the native resolution of my TV with no prevail. The screen continues to stay jumpy and blurry with no apparent results. It still looks like crap. Thanks for your help, I think I'm going to stick with my VGA cable.
 
I can't do ne thing with th TV itself, I just set the source to DVI or PC. I can play with color, res, or anything like that. Its a piece of shit notreally just frustrated.
