Connecting mini to 32" TV for use as a monitor

-

i got 2012 refurb mini. have lg 32" 1080p tv (model number 32le5300). want connect devices (mini, xbox, cable tv) 1 screen consolidate everything. i've connected mini lg tv , not scaling quite should. i'm hoping can explain why or me resolve issue.

mac mini (running mavericks) connected lg tv via hdmi cable. mini picks lg tv under displays in preferences. under 'scaled' shows rotation , refresh rate settings.

i'm having 2 problems. first, when sit want to, around 6 feet away, can't see anything! font small. can't figure out how make font universally larger, not app specific. second, if move in closer legible distance, around 3 feet away, blurry. app icons menu bar. gives?? why won't scale font correctly according screen size? how correct this?

everyone.

edit:

mis-spoke. there 'scaled' option under display, issue still applies. @ 1080p, scaled normal screen, icons , pixelated. @ 720p, bigger, still blurry , more pixelated. app store icon on dock has noticeable jagged pixelation.

update:

went apple store again , guy says shouldnt way. says should clear 27" 5k imac standing by. really?? said if blurry bad gpu or needs firmware update. thought cpu drove display natively unless there graphics intensive app?? idk hell… makes no sense.
 

with hdmi connection, in system preferences displays have over/ under scan slider adjust it. tv not same monitor, despite 1080 hd res.
