TV usage

Ok everyone, I have a new build up and running but I am using a television as a monitor untill I can save enough cash up for a real one. My question is, is there anyway to clean up the fuzzyness of the television, I can barely read any of the writing on the screen, its fine for games, just crappy for use in windows or surfing the net, so much soo that Im using my moms computer to surf the net still

What size TV do you have, the bigger the TV, the more unclear the picture will be. All the more I can say is mess around with the picture controls of the TV, like sharpness, color, and all of that until you get something you like!

A TV doesn't have nearly the resolution or sharpness of your monitor, so tis as good as it gets.

Even with a very nice HDTV it'll be hard to read text, you're SOL til you can buy a monitor I'm afraid.

andrew

the truth is that Im not really using it that much, I dont have the cash to run an ethernet wire upstairs to my room(where it is) so there aint any internet, and most of the games I play are either online or RPG, and I cant really play rpgs cause I cant read a word.....it pisses me off cause its lightning fast compared to the one Im using now(household comp)

whaa??? A tv monitor is much easier on the eyes than a computer monitor! A CRT monitor causes a ton of eye strain compared to a basic tv. Any way, I remember surfing the net with my reamcast on my tv and I had the same problem, you just have to accept that fact.
