Hey guys, been a while since I've stopped by here, but I need some help with something. I recently got a DVI to HDMI converter for use with my TV. This replaced my DVI to VGA adapter + VGA Cable. The quality and colors I have now are outstanding compared to what I had with the VGA cable. I also have a lot more picture options open to me within my TV's settings directly.

Now, the issue I'm having is any text that is not flat white or flat black is difficult for me to read since I changed to this new cable. It almost looks like if you were to take the letter S for example, random areas of it are awkwardly bolder than other areas of the same letter, as if some parts of it are stretching onto nearby pixels for no reason instead of staying where it should.

I've tried messing around with ClearType settings, changing the screen sharpness, color settings, and etc within the TV's settings, and even tried messing around with color settings on NVIDIA Control Panel.

I can't really provide anything other than screenshots (which may not even show the issue) to give an example of the issue. However, I'll provide screenshots anyways.

I didn't post them as inserted images due to size issues.

Thanks in advance for any help. Any computer specs you may need are in my signature. To add to that, though, my TV is a Sony BRAVIA 32" HDTV. I don't know the exact model and I really don't feel like unplugging the entire thing to pull it out enough for me to find it. The DVI -> VGA adapter + VGA cable worked perfectly fine, though. Yes, I have tried different HDMI/DVI ports (I have 3 HDMIs on the TV and 2 DVIs on my GPU.)

If I were to guess.... I'd say its probably a resolution problem.
Check to see what your TV's native resolution is. (For example... 1920x1080 or 1280x720 )
Make sure your computer is set to the same resolution.
There are two different places to check.
Control panel - display settings.
And
In-game graphics settings.

Native resolution is 1920x1080. I run everything at that resolution with the only exceptions being games that do not support it.

Windows + NVIDIA Control Panel resolution selection screens.
