Do I need to upgrade my video card?
Hi, Ive just bought a samsung 42inch plasma tv which ive connected to my PC via a hdmi cable. However, when i set the screen resolution to 1920 by 1080, the writing is impossible to read, i.e on the shortcuts and in IE. The tv is set for this resolution and my computer can go that far but its a mess! I cant see the top of the window to minimize, restore etc. Lower resolutions make everything look "fat" and kinda blurry, but better to read.
Here are my specs:
