Something to consider! Occasionally, I have found that the newest version of AMD's driver didn't always work best for my configuration. Back around 11.4(?), I experienced a problem with my system having a BSOD every four days. I had just bought a new SSD for my OS and was blaming the SSD, when I eventually figured it out ( I cloned the SSD to an old HD and the problem was the same ) it was the AMD driver. Very weird, but the reality was that it wasn't that big a deal to use the older driver and then when the next one came out it worked fine and life went on! I remember one version where I couldn't adjust the GPU fan manually, even though the setting was there, it just didn't work! There will be another driver again pretty soon, so...

By Remove do you mean uninstall catalyst and re install it?

Just to be clear, are you using an HDMI input on an HDTV?

Normally you shouldn't have to mess around with custom settings. I don't have an AMD card but it should work like THIS:

1) HDTV section
2) 1080p_NTSC@60Hz (if appropriate)
3) correct OVERSCAN

Most/all of the people I've seen who setup CUSTOM settings to address blurry/scaling issues were fine once they chose the PROPER setup. Not saying that's you.

There will be another driver again pretty soon, so if I were you and you aren't in desperate need of this driver for a particular game, just use the older driver until the next one appears! Just make sure you always thoroughly UN-install the old drivers before you install a new one. It doesn't hurt to use the windows graphic driver for a short time for non-gaming purposes, to make sure there are no other problems, and then install the newest graphics driver to play games and use any of the advanced options.
