First of all the tv is Panasonic Viera TH-L32C3S.I connected my cpu to the tv's pc input and it ran.But the screen quality didnt seem good.It was running at 1280X768 resolution and seemed like the screen was stretched to fit the whole tv.When I tried changing the resolution to higher it didnt change.I click a higher resolution and after a sudden blink it comes back at 1280X768.When I tried 2560 it hanged and even after restart the screen was being black.I didnt try after that.

Heres the tv's specification- http://www.panasonic.ae/EN/Pages/TH-L32C3.aspx

Pc's specification:Intel pentium E5200(2.5ghz) dual core,2GB DDR3 ram,Gigabyte G31 motherboard,Intel GMA 3100 onboard graphics card.


Its a HD tv.I thought I would get real HD quality picture.There's also 2 HDMI input,do I need to get new cables to connect my cpu there?

Did any of you ever tried or heard something like this,I mean is the weak onboard graphics card or the connecting cable causing trouble?What is wrong here?

As rgd1101 pointed out, 1366 x 768 is the highest resolution supported by your TV. Also, the PC in on most TVs is analog. If you want the clearest possible picture, use HDMI, which is digital. HDMI is subject to over scan, and each manufacturer of TVs handles that differently. You may find the results with HDMI unsatisfactory as well.
