Hi I'm having a problem with my display as the picture isn't as clear as it can be. I am using a 42" TV as my monitor and I have a g3258 cpu and an r9 280x gpu, I use a dvi to vga adapter on the gpu and it looks okay and I have the resolution set to 1080p but I have just tested the igpu with just the vga connection to the mobo and everything is a lot sharper than with the gpu and adapter. Can you please tell me what the problem might be? Thanks

Is it a 1080p TV? With a D-Sub input?

Try another adapter seeing as they are only $10. Try another cable.

Would a dvi to vga cable be better?

Oh right it's looked very bad from my old 6870 and now the same with 280x must be because I'm using a TV then
