Well, what did you expect? It's a gogglebox signal, and the video card is primitive.

I doubt if you can configure that out - just live with it, or throw the tv and buy a monitor. For the price of last year's TV License I got a hdmi moniotor here and made way for it by junking the tv. Much beter picture.
