Hello! I have a DELL Optiplex 745 connected with a Panasonic Plasma HD TV via DVI-->HDMI,but the quality of the picture is really bad.I assume that the problem is the bad integrated videocard(256) of the PC,but I am not sure.Is that the real problem according to you?

What resolution are you trying to display (i.e. 1920x1080)?

The TV recommended1280x720,but even at 800x600 the picture is still bad.Tried all aspects of the TV screen(16:9,4:3 etc) with all possible resolutions,but still bad picture

Your integrated video adapter is really not suitable for HD displays. I would recommend you install a stand alone video card with at least 1GB of video memory.

No, you need a video card. Something like this:

Sorry if I am a pain in the as* and with so less knowledge about computers,but a friend of mine told me that I can't install a videocard on a DELL,because they have their own integrated...I don't know how true that is...is it possible to attach the videocard you recommended to the DELL Optiplex 745 I have?Sorry for the bunch of silly questions!

You can install a low-profile video card like this one in your small form factor Optiplex 745:
