When I connect the the monitor to my PC using DVI, the output looks good. But when I connect the same monitor to the same PC using HDMI, the output is absolutely horrible - the picture and text comes out to be very grainy.
I am trying to use it for 1920x1080 (which shows up as the "recommended" option)
Here is my video card Sapphire HD 6850 PCIE Video Card (100315L)
How do I fix this?

Does your video card have separate digital paths for DVI and HDMI, or do they come from the same source? – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams – 2011-10-23T01:08:25.997
2Which OS? What's the native resolution of the monitor? What's the resolution you are attempting to use? – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2011-10-23T01:53:57.730
I see two DVI connectors. Which are you using? – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams – 2011-10-23T04:26:59.920
1Is it possible your HDMI cable is damaged or that it's a problem with the monitor's HDMI input, not the video card? Try it with a different computer or different cable, if you can. – nhinkle – 2011-10-23T04:39:26.117
@IgnacioVazquez-Abrams I have a three-monitor setup. I am trying to use all 3 as DVI (2 from video card, 1 from motherboard) – Raj More – 2011-10-23T04:48:26.953
that HDMI cable came from my DVD player which plays movies just fine. – Raj More – 2011-10-23T04:49:01.540
1Is the one that's giving you trouble the one that connects to the motherboard? – David Schwartz – 2011-10-23T05:16:28.447
@DavidSchwartz No, it is connected to the video card shown in the picture – Raj More – 2011-10-23T14:57:43.753
3It happened for me before when the scaling or overscan setting is incorrect. Try to disable overscan if possible. IMHO DVI is much easier to work with because the video driver treats the output as a monitor (instead of an HDTV) by default and there is no need to tweak these settings. – netvope – 2011-10-23T17:43:01.013
I see you've purchased a non-nVidia graphics card and you're having trouble with it. Coincidence? – ta.speot.is – 2012-01-11T23:49:57.227
