Hey guys I cannot figure out for the life of me why my new '120Hz' (thats a laugh) 1080p tv looks really grainy (as if not displaying natively) in its native resolution on my desktop, but looks perfectly clear on my ps4 (both running through hdmi cables). Any ideas??

The new TV is a westinghouse, graphics card is the EVGA overclocked GTX 680
 
go into the tv settings and change the overscan setting (I think it should be disabled for a computer hookup and enabled for everything else) and see if it looks better. overscan is for tv signals that are not perfect so it cuts off all the edges slightly by zooming in just a little to correct for it so you don't see artafacts on the edges of a screen. for a pc display you don't need that feature
