Hi all ...need some expert help!
I am using Toshiba 32TL838 led 3d full HD TV (1080p native) as my PC monitor for over 2 years and previously i had ati 6770, connected via DVI -> HDMI and everything looked fine and clear. Good colors and saturation, not that crystal clear with txt but i managed it with Clear type.
Few days ago i got a whole new setup:
i7 4770k, Asus Maximus Hero VI and MSI gtx 770 Gaming. And now i have really bad display quality (win 7 x64) of both txt and images, and it happens only when i install Nvidia driver - i get oversaturated colors, white line around txt, oversharpened images yet blurry and with lack of textures (like no depth - object in focus is clear, but everything behind is super blurred - in all pics).
With Standard vga driver by win default i have crystal clear picture, both txt and images so i believe its not my TV but nvidia driver or something else is in conflict.
It looks similar to this...

I can go with sharpening on TV bellow 0 but i want less blurry and more visible textures.
And when viewing the thumbnails, or displaying a smaller pics while browsing they look like this...

Hard to see which is what.
I ve read over the TV manual too many times, disabled/enabled scaling, filters ...renamed HDMI port to PC ofc, turned on/off "active vision". Strange thing is ...every LOWER RES image/photo from my family album or random ones got to much blurry, and when looking at the thumbnails of those pictures it almost like painted with watercolores, no depth, no visible pixels, no textures, like empty shells. While really quality pics display good, all smaller pictures (etc browsing internet) display like they are in 8 bit.
Like some nvidia driver filtering is going on, specially on low res images, but i notice lower quality in full HD vids as well.
I tried all settings in nvidia control panel without success (etc fxaa off, no scaling/scaling/overscan/underscan/50hz/60hz) ...i would then connect the PC with Sony TV and its all crystal clear with nvidia driver, while its crystal clear on Toshiba without driver (but i need it for games). HEEEEELP!
I ve tried with editing EDID of my TV, before installing driver, no luck ...coz i dont see the specific "override EDID flags" line in new nvidia drivers. Its like in some strange way TV downgrade the source signal. So ...i went and bought DP -> HDMI cable ...same thing - just threw money.
DVI - > VGA (via that small DVI to VGA adapter that comes with graphic cards) i get overscaled desktop and dark lines over the screen.
HDMI -> HDMI same fuzzy picture as with DVI ->HDMI.
I had the similar problem (with fuzzy txt and blurry images) when i tried to connect my old ATI 6770 with micro HDMI -> HDMI (1.4a spec) so i was using DVI to hdmi and it was fine. Maybe some custom driver that might help me? I am desperate.
