Desperate in need of help!

So it's my birthday today and I got a Sharp 32" LED TV. Well, I actually got it a week ago, but didn't open it until my birthday. Anyway, I'm really annoyed right now, the picture looks awful when hooked up to my PC through HDMI and all the TV has are VGA and HDMI (That I can use for my PC). It looks all blurred out... I have Google'd my ass off, but haven't got anywhere. The problem is that my TV does not have a "pixel perfect" type thingy so what it does is that it upscales the image 5-10% and then to make the desktop fit inside of the actual screen it shrinks it down to match (from what I've understood) and that makes the image look awful! I have no idea how to fix it, I've looked through the settings on the TV at least 100 times by now and I've Google'd my ass off so you, the OC3D crew, are my final hope. Can ANYONE please help me figure this out???

Try to find the aspect ratio settings on your tv. If you can't adjust that, then go to your graphics card control panel and adjust the scaling.

I've tried both, none of them work. On the aspect ratio there's no "pixel perfect" type thing, only the normal 4:3, 16:9, Full, Cinema, etc., etc., and changing the scaling in my Nvidia software doesn't do anything.
 
Yeah it sounds like you need to overscan/underscan the picture. Catalyst CC-My digital flat panels-scaling options-underscan/overscan.
 
I've not tried this myself, but it might work. Have you tried changing the scaling in the "Adjust desktop size and position" section?
 
I have a Nvidia card and a ATI card. It's almost impossible not to have it work. What aspect ratio settings do you have? Are you sure you are at the right section of the control panel?

If you are using HDMI it should be at 1080p if thats what your res is set to. Usually GPU scaling gets enabled when you use a TV and you just have to disable it but you have already tried that so it's defo not that.

Try uninstaling and reinstalling your drivers, if your TV has a game or PC input make sure you label your HDMI input as one of those. The TV shouldn't be scaling the picture, if it's native res is 1080p it should natively support the picture size so i'd say the prob is on the GPU side of things.

GPU scaling is turned off and I can't change the name of the source, that's the problem. If I could I could just rename it and everything would be fine, but the TV won't let me. And yes, the native res of the TV is 1080p. I'll try reinstalling my drivers, tho.
 
It shouldn't be the TV that is causing the prob though, it's most likely the PC side of things.

Try looking for threads of your model TV on avforum as well, it's one of the best places to go for TV related stuff.

I tried reinstalling it and it didn't make any difference. But I'm confused because the text looks miles better than what it did yesterday, but pictures and stuff still look pretty awful. I'll ask on AVForum for help as well. Thanks for the help, tho!
