running display through an HDTV, it really sucks

[Lord Tumnas]

Hey guys, so i have moved my rig into the lounge room for the day and have connected it to the 32inch full HDTV we have, however the picture quality is just terrible, compared to my 23inch monitor, which is really crisp, i can barely read this as im typing from about two metres away, adjusting resolution to 1080i, 720p, 720i does not help AT ALL . I even tried going into CCC and putting anti aliasing up to 8x and achieved no improvement.
The TV is connected directly to HDMI and the monitor was connected to DVI however, although logically the HDMI should give higher image quality...

Is the image stretched so the pixels of the feed are not lined up with the pixels in the display?

i have no idea, bothscreens are 1080P, how would i check though?

when running games or watching youtube it looks fine, its just web browsing and the home screen as well as itunes menus

Perhaps the subpixel arrangement on your TV is different than what Windows thinks it is. This could cause text to be blurred.

Try viewing this on your TV to know which subpixel order your TV is:
