Situation

Its not cabling thats the issue. The TV shows visual but the graphics is very hazy and blurry. I suppose it has something to do with either the frame rate made for digital monitors being too high for the TV or the video resolution being too unbarable.

I have used CRT computer monitors but they used VGA. In those monitors, I used to set resolution to 800x600px and it would show the clearest. CRT monitors dont have this concept of pixels, yet setting pixels to 800x600 does the job in VGA CRT monitors. It did not work in case of my TV.

I should mention that the device I purchased to convert HDMI to Audio Video has a toggleable switch that can be changed to NTSC or PAL. I dont know what that is, both works but setting to PAL seems to be slightly clearer.

I am asking here in hopes someone else has done it and how they made it barable.

[Also I am sorry I do not understand the language that is mostly used here. This community seems to be the most active one so I decided to ask for help here]

    Sure, I think I will try 320x240 since 640x480 clearly didnt work. Should I/Could I set the frame rate to 30fps through config.txt hdmi_ctv option? Also should I set it to progressive or interlaced?
