GTX780 on TV issues

[Silverberg]

Hi.

I've always had my TV as my pc monitor, a 32" Samsung running through VGA at 1920x1080 and never had an issue.

A few days ago i changed to a Samsung 40F8000 - This has no VGA input but didnt think it would be an issue as my graphics card as a HDMI output, so thought i'd use that. I was wrong!

If i put the resolution at 1920x1080 the colours go very bright and it looks horrible. But, if i put the resolution at 1600x1050 the colours are fine.

If anyone has a work around, or a setting to change that i have missed and could help, i would greatly appreciate it

I have taken pictures to try and show you, it doesnt really look too bad on there, but in real life, to use, its horrible.

1920x1080

1600x1050

Sounds like the old RGB full range problem :S though it shouldn't really happen over VGA.

EDIT: Quick google suggests that renaming the input to PC? and/or making sure PC mode is enabled? to disable post processing as it sees a 1080p signal as a media not PC signal and applies post processing or something.

You're a genius! Ive been googleing for hours!! Naming the input to PC worked a treat!

Thank you very much
