HDMI - Samsung and Mac Mini

I have a MacMini that I bought specially for its HDMI port. I bought 2 Samsung TA550 monitors and CANNOT get both to work. The HDMI connection yields a terrible image which is unacceptable.

I connect the first monitor using its VGA port. That works great.

The second monitor is connected through a HDMI port, and the image is very, very bad.

I have tried HDMI > DVI > VGA cables but they do not seem to work.

I am not satisfied with the Mac Mini and the Samsung monitors. I don't know which one to blame for the problem, but I am not happy with the outcome.

I even upgraded to OSX Lion, but nothing changed.

Anybody have any solution to my problem ?

Tks

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7)

Thanks azdawg99, I originally had it on DVI-PC, but didn't see the Movie option in Color.

So, I changed the input settings to Blueray, and I got the Movie option, but I couldn't get the color "perfect".

By switching the input setting back to DVI-PC, the color is much better. I left it on Standard, not Entertain.

Thanks
