Philips Magnavox 17in display is very blurry

I just bought a Mac Mini and hooked it up to my Magnavox 17in widescreen TV. It says it has 1280 x 768 pixel res and 500:1 contrast ratio, which looks to be as good as most LCD monitors I've seen. But when I hook it up to the computer the screen is very blurry. Any suggestions on how to clear it up?

Is 1280x768 the native resolution? I know I had problems with my Compaq 7020 monitor being fuzzy at anything BUT the native resolution no matter what settings I played with.

Also, I'd check each of the frequencies the monitor can display at at each resolution. At the native resolution of the Compaq (1280x1024), it could DISPLAY at both 60Hz and 75Hz, but it was MUCH clearer at 60Hz.
