I have got a dual output graphics card (Matrox G450)

I have got it connected to the TV to watch DVD and AVI files, This is shown near perfect on the TV.

The problem is when i want to dispay windows on the TV the quality suffers.

I want to use the TV as the main display for the PC as a monitor in the living room will look a bit cr@p.
The TV will only be used for browsing the MP3's on the network and setting the PVR to record etc nothing graphically intense.

Anyone got any ideas

Try turning the resolution right down to 640x480.

TV's only have a resolution of 720x5xx (ish) and a refresh rate of 50Hz
