Sorry I originally posted this in the wrong section, i didnt realise there was a monitor forum (sorry, didnt mean to cross post)
Ive recently purchased a cheap 26" LCD TV. It will be mainly used for sky and dvd, however last night i connected it up to my pc.
Im using a DV-I to HDMI adapter (HDMI in the TV).
The TV is HD Ready, and its native res is 1280 x 768.
However if i use this reolution on the computer , the outer regions are off screen.
So firstly, why is that? Surely if its the LCD's native res it should look fine. I know you can use overscan etc.
Also whilst Media Center, Video/DVD playback and games look superb. The desktop in general is quite blurry and the text is difficult to read.
Is that normal? Can i tweak it in anyway?
Any help appreciated.

Extra info
I have three options im using an Nvidia 7600GS.
I can use native mode, underscan (i think) and overscan.
When i use native mode im loosing the edges of the screen. Which shouldnt be the case (at least in my mind lol)
I can use underscan to make it fit but then im not using the lcd's native resolution
