I've hooked up my new Mac Mini to my 47" LG tv with an HDMI cable. Everything works fine, however there's one problem: I get this weird white glow around text (especially "os x native text") like this:

enter image description here

I set the output to 720p (the problem is even worse at 1080p).

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks!

Did you try another cable yet? – patrix♦ Dec 10 '11 at 11:49

Check if your TV has a “sharpness” setting, and if so turn it all the way down. “Sharpness” is a filter which can help with weak analog signals or rescaled video, but it is not appropriate for computer displays.

More often when using a computer connected to a TV, you should turn on a "Game Mode", or any other mode that disables all special rendering functions of the TV. – Jason Salaz♦ Jan 9 '12 at 17:10
