I have a 2011 15" macbook pro & a moshi mini display port to hdmi adapter. I connected the macbook pro to my HDTV's and both looked garbage compared to the macbooks screen. One tv is LG that supports 1080p which is about 2 years old and the other is a Samsung that supports 1080i which is 5 years old.

Basically the overall picture isn't as clear, specially the text. My tv's are a higher resolution than the macbook so shouldn't the quality be matched? Or should I be looking at other specs that are more important?

If you could please recommend me a 26" hdtv as an example of specs that would look the same as my macbook pro when I connect it to the hdtv.

Thanks
