I've recently hooked up one of my desktops to my 51" TV, which is working great, but I'd like to be able to make it look a little nicer.

Everything is proportional, but the text can be hard to read, and while I don't plan on using it much for surfing the web or anything, when I do I'd like to be able to see it all a little better.

I've upped the size for everything to 150% in the personalize options, but what else can I do short of changing my resolution?

P.S. I'm on the TV right now, and it's great to see Tom's in 51" of glory :)

Are you running at the default resolution for the TV? If the resolution is set to the native one for the TV, next step would be to play with the ClearType options that control the anti-aliasing of text, should help a bit.

Or maybe you just found out that you need new glasses eh? :-)
