Right place?
I have this TV (LG; 22LH2000) on my wall for a few months and decided I wanted it as my monitor so I bought a £20 metal desk mount and hooked it all up.

Currently I have a HDMI cable going from it to my computer. I have a 9800GT Nvidia graphics card, just so you know.
Now I expected this to be able to run 1600* res or so, and on a HDMI cable it runs 1920*1080 (native) but it looks horribly pixelated as though it's not meant to even be that high. 'ok' I thought, time to lower it so it looks fine... 1680*1050... 1600*1024... Nothing looked decent until I went down as far as 1360*768. WHAT!?
This is a 22" screen hooked up by a HDMI cable, and it's max res which doesn't look pixelated and bad is 1360*768...
Failing that I even tried an RGB connection. It wouldn't even go any higher then 1360*768, I couldn't even FORCE it to go any higher then that resolution.
What the hell am I missing facepunch?
It's a TV. Not a monitor. If it doesn't support Full HD you can't run 1080p without it looking all pixelated.
My Vizio HDTV has the same problem. Sucks, but you get used to it.
So does that mean I'm stuck with running games in 1360*768

And well, everything
Could we get a picture of how pixelated everything looks at the higher res?
Yes, it means you can't go any higher than that resolution without it getting all pixelated, since the screen doesn't support resolutions higher than 1360*768.
When I look at the printscreen of it in 1600*900 it doesn't look anything is wrong

But when I took that print screen everything was jagged and it was like the area around things were pixelated, trying to fill space or something... I don't know
Yeah, that's because, like I said before, the screen doesn't support the resolution. The graphics card does though, so your screenshot will look fine.
1360x768 is its native resolution, You'll be lucky to find a native 1080p TV under 26". TVs and Monitors are very different animals.
Well looks like i'll have to be happy with it just being big, however small the resolution is, thanks for the information Erwin (:

Even on an RGB connection 1360*768 is pixelated????
In my opinion, it is better to have a medium sized monitor at a good resolution than a massive TV at the same or lower resolution.
