bad picture when connect laptop to tv via hdmi cable

gingerbreadmen

Hi all Hope your all well.
Watching some live sport video streamed on laptop great picture, but when i connect the laptop to the tv the picture is good but when the players run they go all zigzagy. (technical term lol). Its probably down to refresh rates, but was wondering if there is anything to try/change settings on tv. Any help would be much appreciated.

The TV is designed for 50Hz.  The laptop will almost certainly be at 60Hz.

You can change the refresh rate in Windows 10 the Advanced Display Settings (type that into the search bar on the taskbar)

Thanks yes I can see the laptop is 60 HZ but there is nowhere to change it. Do I need to go into another menu?

when I'm in that menu and connect the laptop to the tv via HDMI another display menu comes up and says 59,944 Hz Again tho can't change anything.

Sometime you have to go into the options for the Display and you can change it from there.  You may have to select the TV and properties of that.

Different devices you connect bring up different options depending on the handshake information, but you're in the right area.

That could be down to the TV. What make and model is it?

Some handle motion better than others.

It will be hard to find a TV that doesn't accept a 60Hz signal.  All flat panel televisions will. If you get a picture on screen the TV is happy with the signal.
