I'm having a ton of trouble trying to get a "clear" picture output to a 32" 1080p LG TV from my ASUS ROG Laptop. The picture scales perfect, but the picture is more like an SD quality than HD. Regardless of what quality of video I play, it still looks grainy and blurry.
The card (GTX 860M) should be more than capable of at least playing HD videos on this size of monitor. My first thought was that the onboard Intel HD graphics chip was the one actually outputting video, but I've made sure to select the 860m as the default in every setting I could find.
I also tried disabling the onboard graphics, which doesn't seem to do anything, until I try to go to my nvidia settings which then gives me the "NVIDIA settings unavailable/ not using nvidia card etc etc".
The default card is definitely the 860, because any game I boot up runs beautifully on high settings. I haven't tried running a game through hdmi though, so may try that next.
My next thought was that I was using the wrong out port. My laptop has both an HDMI, and a mini display port. So, I tried running from a mini display-to-hdmi adapter, but got the same image quality on the screen as before.
I'm not sure where to go from here. My only two ideas left, are to try running a game on the tv, to see if the 860 really is pushing the video, and to try a different hdmi cable. Kinda avoiding this one because the only other hdmi cable that isn't in storage is hooked to my desktop, which would be a pain to unhook from my flat screen setup, but if it comes to that I will.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
