Default TV as a monitor.

I hooked up my tv as my monitor. It works, kind of. It displays games fine. But normal use, such as browsing the internet and such, is really blurry. I've tried all the resolution settings, restarting, etc.. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Unless it is a High definition TV it will never look that great, normal TV's can only handle displays up to about 50 or 60hz and a maximum resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels for a larger TV(I think).

Yeah, I tried a few more settings and stuff and it was still blurry, so I gave up on it.

I use a TV as second screen to watch movies (DivX etc.), But the resolution of a TV is usually fixed at something like 720x576, very low res for text. I think the pixels are blurier too on a normal TV.

That's the refresh rate that make it more blurry like I said earlier.

Two reasons.

Reason #1: Because my TV is bigger than my monitor.
Reason #2: Because I can. At, least, I thought I could.

Anyways, as I said before, I've given up on it. Too much hassle.
