    Have you checked the output resolution in the "display" settings on the laptop. Usually hdmi is automatically set to hd or full hd by default, but it's worth a shot. The other resolution is get a better tv. Bush unfortunately is in the low end of TV manufacturers.

    Try a different cable, also have a look at HDMI settings in the TV and look for a 'PC mode'

    I'd guess that your TV is 720 rather than 1920

    Erm no... The standard hd formats are 480, 720, 1080 and 2160. I think you mean 1080(1920x1080) not 1920 ;)

    I think with mine it was refresh rate. 60 instead of 50hz? Was messing with settings then fluked it.

    Play around with aspect ratio on TV, there is usually one setting for directly connected pc's.

    I would recommend you try dropping the resolution first. Some TVs just don't handle the full HD from a computer very well.
