HDMI Cable

    When I plug it in, it works ok for a while, then this starts to happen

    Sometimes it stops happening for about 10 minutes, then comes back. I have tried 2 different cables with the same results, so it must be a setting on the laptop or tele. Anyone have any ideas?

    Not to divert attention from the OP, but I am having a minor problem. I bought a Bush HDMI Cable (High Speed with Ethernet) from Argos, for about €19.20 or so. It works fine most of the time, but I've noticed when I'm watching movie files with a lot of movement in them (e.g. explosions) there are streaks on my LCD TV screen, and the transition isn't smooth. Is there anyway of changing the settings to avoid this? It's quite distracting. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Its called hi-jacking mate , and on any forum is considered very bad form! Start your own thread !

    is there an option on your laptop of tv for colour space conversion. If so set this to RGB if it is set to something like "YCbCr"

    What is the laptop and tv make/model

    Do you have another HDMI device you can plug into the TV to test with?

    OP, are you running the laptop screen and the external signal simultaneoulsly or do you disble the laptop screen when watching the TV?

    I always switch to 'Projector only' when I attach the laptop to the TV, this might be 'TV only' or 'External only' on your laptop.

    I don't think the problem is at the TV, there are no 'settings' that I'm aware of on a TV for a HDMI connection, you have to sort it out at the source.
