Last night I hooked up my iMac to my Samsung 40" HD LCD and I'm curious about what it takes to see the imagery on the TV screen. I have to go into System Preferences, Displays, and then "Mirror Displays." Once the iMac is displaying on the TV screen it looks a bit, crappy. In fact, they both do. It's almost like the TV is copying what's on the iMac screen. The imagery and fonts look "dirty." Is there anyway around this? In the setup perhaps?

Hi Wingnut51,

Try the "detect displays" function so that your computer knows it is sending to a Samsung TV monitor.

Also, try using some alternative resolutions from your Displays options.

It sounds like an incorrect Resolution Setting. The iMac-Models are using 16:9 or 16:10 Resolutions, like 2560x1440 (16:9) for the 27"-iMac. That Resolution is probably not supported by your TV and the iMac will use 1920x1080, which is typical for Full-HD. If you are mirroring the iMac-Display with the TV-Display, you will have the effect you described.

You can either set the Resulution manually or disable the 'Mirror'-Function and use the TV as a second Monitor with a different Resolution.

In order to help you further, you have to be more specific concerning your Computer- and TV-Model:

Which iMac- and TV-Model are you using?
Your HD LCD TV probably supports HDTV, but does it support Full HD (i1080)?

My iMac is a 2.66 GHz Intel Core Duo at 1680 x 1050. My TV is a Samsung 40" Series 6 LCD. The TV does support Full HD.

My current wiring connection between the two is a Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter from Apple, then a DVI to HDMI cable from Belkin. (My older LCD didn't have a VGA input so I've never bothered to purchase a VGA cable.)

I'm getting what you mean about the incorrect resolution settings. In other words, I need to get the TV resolution and the iMac resolution the same?

At initial start-up of the computer, when hooked up to the TV, I need to set-up the TV resolution properly so that it can display the information coming from the iMac.

I have to go to work soon, but tonight when I get home I'll fuss with everything and see what I come up with.

Either that, or you adjust the resolution settings on your Mac to match the TV.

Well, that's exactly what you told it to do.

If you don't mirror displays, then you can have different settings for each monitor, and adjust them individually. It also allows you to have different windows on each screen. If you set it to mirror displays, then it will only show the settings that apply to your iMac monitor, which are probably not the best settings for your TV.

If you are using the TV to watch videos, VLC has a setting for which monitor to use for full screen.
