I'm having a problem - I have a 32 inch TV with VGA and HDMI output and a new graphics card (R9 290) which has HDMI, DP and DVI-D dual link ports. My TV's native resolution is 1360x768 and my PC outside of games is too cramped at lower resolutions and too distant at higher resolutions.

Using HDMI to HDMI it looks really pixelated no matter what the resolution and with a DVI-D to HDMI adapter it fixes the pixelated issue but means that on greys and darker colours I notice what I can only describe as fuzzy shaky pixels and this is in games as well so it looks awful. The only way to fix this is to run at 30hz interlaced which of course doesn't look very good at all.

So basically it looks pixelated using hdmi to hdmi and with dvi to hdmi it gets fuzzy pixels. Is there any way I can solve either of these issues or should I just buy a VGA adapter - if so would I be best getting HDMI, DP or DVI-D to VGA. (I'm aware I'd need an active adapter for DVI to VGA but don't know about the others)
 
Solution
a other cable would help but what you want to try is changing the input on your tv
Go to menu->input->name->hdmi1(2,3,4,5)->then change it to PC hope this helps
