hello, i have an Acer Aspire V3 771G with an nVidia GeForce GT650M and Intel HD4000 video cards. I have connected my TV Samsung Smart TV to it via HDMI, and at 1980x1080 60Hz resolution the image looks bad, unclear text, taskbar and icons out of frame. I tried all posibilities of settings such as changing the resolution to lower values, or changing the refresh rate, and still no results. I installed the latest driver of both video cards, still nothing, i tried with older drivers for the chipsets, nothing. Previously i had an MSI CX620 laptop with nvidia GeForce 310M and Intel HD3000 video cards, and i had the same problem with the image quality, until i changed from 1980x1080 59Hz to 1980x1080 60Hz, then the image was perfect on the TV screen. I tried the same on the Acer but still no result. Any ideas?anyone?thank you!

Try changing the screen settings press windows key and P together and select duplicate mode and check the clarity of picture.

still nothing, that doesnt change any quality of the image. It duplicates the desktop indeed, and i can adjust the properties of each screen but when it comes to the TV still no change

Did u update the BIOS? Go for 1.12 version.

i think BIOS is at other level, and it doesnt have anything to do with this problem. I dont know, i haven't done the bios update. I still think its something wrong with the driver, i have no idea..I mean on the MSI i had the same problem, when i simply changed the refresh rate the image got perfect, and here it doesnt have any effect

How is the display on acer logo? Is it the same?

the Acer's screen is a full HD LED screen 1980x1080 resolution, 17'3" size, and the tv is 32" at the same resolution

I have a V3-771G 9441 and I hook the HDMI  up to my 40" LCD tv and it works fine.  Running Win 8 64bit.  I can mirror the desktop or extend the desktop and both are ok.  I was running BIOS 1.12 but have upgrades to 1.18 and 2.21.  Am running the latest drivers from Acer website.  Have you tried a different HDMI cable or a different HDMI port in your TV.  I run mine at 1920x1080 60hz.  I stream movies from Amazon and Netflix with this setup.  Hooking to the TV is the reason I got the Acer.

im not sure if the BIOS update will fix my problem, but i`ll try to do that. Talking about latest drivers,yes, i have the latest drivers from Acer's website. Talking about the HDMI cable, no, i haven't tried with annother one since i've being using this cable on the old laptop i thought the cable is ok, but i`ll try to use annother one. And in the end,regarding the hdmi ports, yes i tried to change the port, the tv has two ports,doesnt work in any one of them, i mean it works, but the image looks bad as i described in the previous posts.

hello!

a small update, i`ve changed the TV, the TV had a problem and the shop decided to change it with a new one. But with no solution, the image is still the same. I`ve changed the resolution from 1980x1080@60Hz to  1680x1050@60Hz, and the image looks much more better, smooth curves,smooth text, smooth windows,etc. But its still not the best image i can have. I stil have no idea what makes this problem to appear. I will try to change even the HDMI cable but im not sure thats the solution cause i`ve being using this cable with my previous laptop and it worked fine. Main suspect now is my new Acer laptop, but we`ll see. IF anybody has some other suggestion, please shoot it here. Thank you!
