Issues using HDMI

I've been using a VGA cable with a DVI adapter and everyone is telling me that HDMI is much better and that I should use it so I hooked it up with HDMI and the picture looks fuzzy, grainy, blurry and all sorts of bad and I just can't figure out why. I use a TV for gaming, not a proper gaming monitor, I have  Samsung SyncMaster TA550 and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670. I am using my monitors native resolution and it still looks terrible. I tired taking a picture of it with my phone but you can't see it on the picture.

It's probably your TV.

OH I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE but I fixed it and it's great

just follow this 

And apparently it's something retarded about the monitor not recognising it as a pc input, because usually there's overscaling for tv inputs yada yada something retarded

Home is where the heart my desktop is.

There's nothing wrong with VGA at 1080p 60Hz btw...

Thank you so much, this helped me :D

I was told that there is a difference. Since the cable quality matters in VGA while with HDMI a 2$ cable is the same as a 100$ cable and a bunch of other benefits too. I mean there is nothing wrong but isn't it better with HDMI?
