any suggestions?

Same with mine. I have a TV-OUT on my video card and ran a cable to my 42" Samsung to play Madden on it. It was nice for that and videos/photos do look good, but text and small details like icons do look like crap.

I'm sure a better video card could help me, but honestly my 19" CRT monitor looks better with the details.
