Hi,

Vizio 32" Razor LED 120hz effective refresh rate 1080p
Windows 7 64
Nvidia GeForce 780 GTX 3G
HDMI to HDMI

I'm currently using 2560x1440 resolution and the picture is not sharp. The screen size is perfect and a lot better than the recommended 1080p (1920x1080). My card is capable of displaying 2560x1440, I'm just not sure why it's not clear. Anything special I have to do? I'm using a 1.4 HDMI cable from card to TV. I've gotten the highest quality cable possible to make sure my screen is good. Any ideas?

Hdmi is not strong enough for that type of setup. Hdmi can not carry that much signal to your t.v, the only two cables that would be capable of doing that is a display port cable, or a dvi cable. The maximum hz that you could do at the resolution through hdmi would be around 60. The reason why televisions can run that fast and at that resolution through a normal cable box is that they use something called compression which causes data going through the cable to be a lot lower than the what comes out of your computers video card and to the t.v

Maybe it's because 1440p isn't your monitor's (rather, TV) native resolution. Using anything outside of your monitor's native will likely give you less than ideal results. That, and TVs aren't really meant to be monitors. Granted they do work, but the picture quality of a monitor is usually better.

Uhm hey your using a 1080p tv and trying to push it past its max res. A Vizio tv is not a computer monitor. Try buying a real 2560 x 1440 or 1600 monitor and seeing a vast improvement.

Well your t.v would still be limited to 1080p and converters still slow down your signal to the point where hdmi would be faster. Like for example my t.v is only 1080p at 240hz now from my nvidia control panel I can set the resolution all the way up to 4k. now what that will do is cause the images to become extremely over sharpened, blurry, and very over scanned. So your controls may be offering you the 1440p option but your t.v will max out at 1080p

Basically, a $400 LED TV at 1080p that looks amazing for games on my PC at 1920x1080 is not as good as a $1500 monitor that can do 2560x1440? Damn, monitors are more expensive than 65 inch LED 1080p smart TV's. Joke! Thanks for the help guys, I tried my best.
