Last night I replaced an older 32" HDTV I use both as a TV and Monitor with a brand new 42" LG Smart TV (see below for all specs). The TV itself has an amazing picture and I'm really happy with it.
Problem: When I use it as a computer monitor (HDMI cable), it looks less than stellar. I remember having this issue with my last HDTV when I used the HDMI cable. I eventually switched to using a VGA cable and the "PC" port on the TV and the picture looked significantly better. This TV doesn't have such a port. Mostly the image looks slightly "off", like it has far too much contrast. I played around with the Catalyst settings and removed the oversample correction, but can't figure out how to get the picture to look better.
I've searched around but can't seem to find a good answer or place to start fixing this.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
