TV / Monitor Problem

Hi all,
Here's hoping I can tap into the A/V wisdom on this list...
I recently bought one of these:
http://www.tesco.com/direct/blaupunkt-24-inch-full-hd-1080p-led-tv-with-fre=
eview/413-9808.prd
for =C2=A374 clearance at my local Tesco!
...with the intent of using it primarily as a PC monitor. Connected via VGA
it works perfectly at full HD resolution - really sharp picture, etc.
However, when connected to the PC via HDMI the picture quality is quite
poor. Instead of lovely sharp text it is all a bit jagged. Readable, but
not right.
The manual does say that for PC use it should be connected via VGA, but I
was wondering *why* this should be so...
What's better about VGA than HDMI?
I have a separate graphics card in the PC so have the opportunity for
custom settings, if only I knew what they should be. It is a full HD panel,
and both the VGA and HDMI connections are set at the right resolutions.
It's only a minor niggle but I had hoped to keep my main machine connected
via HDMI and have a spare VGA lead to give a 2nd monitor for my laptop when
working from home.
Any thoughts why VGA should be better than HDMI for this?
Many thanks,
Tim.
p.s. otherwise I'm very happy with the set. Analogue and digital tuners and
the ability to plug in a USB stick and record to it/watch from it. Not a
smart TV but it was only seventy four quid, and it's plugged into a PC :-)
