So I am new to the XBMC community, running [live] with the Camelot 1 RC on an Acer Revo 1600. All of my menu texts look like garbage. Its uber pixalated, etc.

I have a Hitachi 42HSD69 Plasma TV. According to Hitachi, the pixel display is 1024x1080 (not 1080x1024). I tried all of the defaults to no avail.

I've been reading around on the site and there is discussion about getting the monitor settings from PowerStrip and importing them. So I ran MonInfo and got this chunk.

So I don't see anywhere in regards to my "listed" resolution. Am I just high? Is it something else thats causing my font to look shitty (tried 4 different short length HDMI cables)

Am I also just being an idiot about this pixel resolution?

Any help is appreciated.
