I connect my laptop to the TV using an HDMI cable, and everything works smoothly. However, once I start a game, the TV suddenly goes black while the game runs perfectly on my laptop display. I think it might be a display issue that only occurs during gaming, not when just playing. Could be a problem with how the TV handles input or graphics settings. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks ahead!

Adjust the screen settings on your device. Check the display options and choose duplicating them across several screens. If the TV has a different resolution, pick the appropriate one for optimal appearance.
