Even so, HD won't fill your whole screen, you'll have to blow that up too, and so suffer some quality loss.

You're right...I never even thought of that. And that makes sense, because if I scale the window down to about 640x480, it looks great. I did know that TV had much lower resolution than monitors do, I guess I just hadn't realized it would make that huge of a differance. Also the problem is that I am sitting so close to the monitor screen, where as you would sit further back from a TV so it would look better even though it's on a larger screen.
Thanks a lot for the help
