karlos,

TVs really aren't a supported video display device as they can have specific connection requirements as stated by the manufacturer. Quite often, they need to use a particular input connection and sometimes they may not always have the TV's full resolution when used with a PC.

That being said, I'd suggest first checking your TV's User manual for the section on connecting it to a PC and make sure you're following their recommendations.

As far as the game is concerned, I've found that running it in windowed mode seems to overcome the sort of issue you're having.

To set that from outside the game, edit your D3Prefs.txt file. It's located in the My Documents\Diablo III folder.

You'd want to make sure this line was in there.

DisplayModeWindowMode "1"
