Hello,

I just bought a new pc and the monitor I purchased, a 23" Asus LED widescreen monitor looks great with everything except video playback.

Specifically streaming. On netflix or other online sites the video comes back grainy and not HD at all. Do I need to do something to fix this? Am I missing something?

Asus - 23" Widescreen LED Monitor - Black

Monitor is plugged into the wall and the cable to the desktop is working fine. Is it just always going to be grainy because the size of the screen??? Or do I need an HDMI cable or something? Which one?

Also I only have about 4mb/s download speeds. Is that why it could be grainy...
