'Er indoors has a 6m old 500 quid laptop running the latest windows whatever operating system and Microsoft office . It has a 1080 screen and is quite a good spec machine .
I have tried to set hey up with a monitor, keyboard, proper mouse to give a better working position.
So I connected the laptop to a 6 year old Samsung 1080 hdtv, probably about 22 inch using a hdmi cable as her laptop has very few sockets as it is a skinny one.
If you view a hdtv film on YouTube, it plays perfectly on the external TV monitor so I know that the graphics card, TV, laptop and hdmi are all working .
BUT when you use the laptop as a computer for say word or excel, the image quality on the external screen is crap- it is perfect on the inbuilt screen. The text looks like the resolution in windows needs changing for it to work properly on the larger, external screen
Does anyone know how to fix this pls?
Thanks .
