Unusual delay in HDMI signal when connecting your laptop to the TV.
Unusual delay in HDMI signal when connecting your laptop to the TV.
I've encountered a peculiar problem with my laptop connected via HDMI to a 55-inch 4K Hisense TV. Using a 15-foot HDMI cable from Walmart, I noticed the video quality fluctuates when playing YouTube content. For about ten seconds, the frame rate drops before it quickly restarts and plays normally again. This cycle repeats continuously while the connection remains active. The issue doesn't occur with my laptop screen, where the refresh rate is set to 60Hz and no problems arise. I've used this same cable before for a different monitor without issues, only differing in resolution—1080p instead of 4K. It seems the problem might relate to bandwidth limitations or signal stability over longer distances. Have others faced similar challenges? Any suggestions on troubleshooting steps could be helpful. I'll consider switching cables once it's convenient. Thanks ahead!

The television is now set to 4K resolution. Earlier, I had connected it to a 1080p display without any problems.
