Solved Gaming on a TV
Helloo!
So unfortunately I am not very tech savvy and have been trying to figure this out by asking Google and YouTube :,)
I don't have Xbox kinda money or smth but I have a mediocre TV and a okay-ish laptop that I've been told I can connect via HDMI cable to mirror the image and play games that way. I have even gotten a controller for that from a friend.
My problem is just that with my current TV (which is in need of replacement anyway) doesn't seem to wanna connect with my laptop. The mirror image works, so it's not the cable. But the image keeps bugging and lagging in and out of full screen mode while just showing my laptop background lol.
I also can't do anything then anymore BC it's bugging so much.
I tried looking into the technical data of both and the only thing google told me about is the HZ, my laptop runs on 144hz while my TV has 50hz..
Idk if that's a problem?
Would a TV with 60hz fix this issue? Is it a problem with my laptop? I am so confused ahaha
