If you're on a Windows PC, right-click the desktop and choose Display Settings.You can adjust these settings with the following steps:

If it's blurry or pixelated, it may be mirroring your laptop's screen and scaling to fit-and if your TV is missing all your windows, it's probably extending your desktop to your TV as a second monitor. if you plugged your laptop into HDMI 3, use your TV's remote to switch to HDMI 3.)
