So I bought an HP 8560w and it has a 1080p screen. On the laptop's screen everything looks fine.
When I connect the laptop to my 43" tv, the layout shifts and the fonts look ratty. Pics and video look fine. When I connect the same tv to my desktop everything looks clean and sharp with no layout disruption.
Windows 10 says each screen is set to 1080p. Fine. So what gives with the quality drop? Did they do some sort of upscaling to cheat 1080p on the laptop screen? I'm not looking for tech support nor to bitch. I'm just wondering how the technology works.
Pic 1, the laptop.
Pic 2, the tv.
I forogt to mention that the laptop doesn't have an HDMI out, so I'm using a displayport to HDMI adapter. I wouldn't expect it to affect the picture like this.

maybe the tv is interlaced and windows has autism
>>62202629
idk man, you're tv probably has some virus or some bad stuff like that
>>62202599
You probably enabled some shitty scaling option on your tv and it's double scaling
>>62202599
Might have something to do with scaling. Set it to 100% and it should look fine.

As best I can tell, no scaling is happening under Win10. There may be a switch somewhere I haven't found yet, though.
nView Desktop Manager isn't enabled.
The nVidia Control Panel only does colours.
I went into the tv menu and found a couple of noise reduction switches that were on plus something called Super Resolution that was on medium. Shutting those off fixed the font problem but the layout kick remains. I'll keep looking.

get a hdmi cable with anti virus protection

Buy a Mac. You're obviously too fucking retarded to use a real computer.
Also not your fucking tech support.

In the 'screen settings' window do you have 100% scaling set on both monitors?
Also, check out the video card settings

For the tv screenshots (and 99% of tv use) the laptop lid is closed. Win10 can see the laptop screen but seems to consider it disabled. Pic related.
The video card is a Quadro 1000M and I haven't found a control panel for it aside from the nVidia colour panel.

"Smaller" = 100% (default)
Windows scaling sets in on startup, so connect it to tv, restart or log out and in again.
Thank me later

Just tried that. No change. I've thought of something else I can try that might shed light on this. There's an uBuntu install on here that I barely use. I'll see how it handles switching between the screens.
I tried it and this time the layout didn't change. I put a short in the corner and it stayed there when I switched screens. I booted into the tv, set the icon, then unplugged the tv from the port and opened the lid. The icon stayed. uBuntu didn't like it when I tried to switch back to the tv but whatever.
So it looks like the fuckery is because of Windows. Btw, I fucked up earlier. This is Windows 8.1, not 10. Oops.
