Hello! I just got home from my local Apple Store. My reason for going was to purchase a Mini Displayport to HDMI Cable. Note that is has the HDMI built in and it is not the adapter itself.

It is connected to my 11" MacBook Air. I work the Air with the lid closed and run the cable from the Air to my Sanyo 18.5" HDTV. So... my picture is fuzzy. And I am a photographer, so my usage will be quite a bit of Photoshop.

Can I download a better color profile or something? Everything is still legible, but it's not as crystal clear as it should be, especially with an HDMI cable.

Please Help!!!!!! Thanks in advance,

James
 
Color profile is unrelated to clarity. Downloading a color profile is never going to be as good as generating your own with a colorimeter, which you ought to have if you're doing color critical work.

On the clarity part, make sure you're running the MacBook at the tv's native resolution (whether 1080p or 720p). SystemPreferences-->Display
 
I'm a couple week new Macbook Air owner myself. And this thread brings up a really good question in my head. Does 2011 Macbook Airs support Full HD 1920x1080 resolution?
 
I connect to a Sony LCD and in the correct resolution it's still pretty jagged.

I think it's just down to the panel itself. It's not a quality panel like a dedicated monitor would be.
