Hello,I am using an AOC LCD TV as a monitor for my laptop and I am having a problem withe the resolution. The fonts are not showing well at all (video seems fine).
The weirdest thing is that when I am going to the advanced options in the display section, when changing from 25hz to 30 hz and back, applying the change gives me a perfect image for 2 seconds before it gets back to bad again!
Any ideas?

i found a solution though, but its not the optimal.
It seems that if i get my resolution to 1280*720 it shows everything just fine.
But according to the factory specs of the Tv it is supposed to have a 1366*768 (same as my laptop) and the control panel lets you set it up to 1920*1080. In both these resoltions the text is bad.

There's no way you can fix it... It's a TV, not a monitor... Monitor has driver as TV dont because the TV is meant for what it's used for so it's just for watching Channel on cables and movies but not for computers...

Because the TV dont have driver!... It's just like putting a new monitor on and you see these wrong resolution and these ugly text but after driver installed, it look awesome... TV dont have driver so it's not possible to make it at 1366x768, It's the native resolution when watching regular TV or on a dvd player but when connected it to a computer, it wont be possible because there's no driver for it...
