When I use my tv as a monitor i can play games like Oblivion/Rainbow 6 no problem(more action less text)...

but when trying to play RTW or Company of Heroes I have to use my regular monitor because the text is so small...this happens while surfing also..i think i can change the font size of my search pages but not on the actual sites...another example is when trying to read mangas online...when i put it on the regular monitor i can see it no problem...

is there a way or how do i make it so i can play these games on my tv and be able to see the text...

please help

Likely the resolution on your TV is something ackward like 1368xcrazy. This is one of the reasons I've been waiting for the 1920x1080 sets. The resolution will translate.

What can you do ? You can try to force the resolution of the TV (done through your graphics card) down to something less ackward, but there will still be a tradeoff in either the size of the text or the amount of scrolling you have to do.
