Hey guys,

I connected my laptop with Samsung 32" FHD TV to see everything on TV, however, im getting really bad image.
The sound quality is fine but the image is horrible.

Try cleaning the wire. Try blowing air at both ends.

Check the HDMI cable. Also check the ports on your laptop and TV. They might be corroded due to dust and moisture.

Most likely the resolution of your laptop and TV are different. Does your laptop have a separate GPU or an onboard one.
