Make sure HDMI UHD Color is switched on in the TV settings for the HDMI port you are using.
It's off by default and you'll be able to enable each port individually. I can't remember where in the settings the option is

I had a cable not be upto scratch for a while about 10 years ago. It didn't represent as a fizzy screen or less resolution.It was more like very slight lines moving down the screen, barely noticeable but once seen impossible to unsee. I bought a new monotor but thay didnt fix it. A new quality cable rather than the crap they sell you when you buy a TV (gold plated plugs etc etc - typical practices in most tech shops imo) sorted it.

Think this shows where the setting is. (Note: This setting is called HDMI UHD Colour in 2018 and older models.)

hey guys for some reason when i use my pc on my tv it looks like im looking through a layer of grease on the screen, happened a while back on my 5700 radeon after a driver update and is also happening on my 7800xt, i have tried messing with every setting imaginable on both the tv i extend to and my gpu and im confused

the gigabyte m32q monitor is fine but as soon as i extend to tv it looks all dull as hell, i sometimes extend to tv to watch stuff on a bigger panel but this is putting a downer on it any ideas?

Can you take a screen shot to show us

 

[Blackjack Davy]

Have you tried cleaning the TV?

Could be greasy...

Either that or his specs

OP still not learnt how to post pictures...

all sorted now it was the hdmi cable

thanks for the help guys, new cable working awesome

 

[matgsi]

Glad that sorted it . I assume the old cable couldn't handle a 4k resolution and therefore the equipment negotiated a lower resolution during the HDMI handshake.

lol thought i had a new issue there for a min, just went to use the tv from pc as usual and my mouse was a stuttery mess when ever it went over to the tv screen.

for some reason windows decided to set my tv refresh rate at 30 with the new cable lol all sorted now that i noticed that, gonna buy a shorter one of these cables for my monitor

 

[Yrkoon]

on am5 now, and watching stuff on tv with this cable, working awesome and i need to adjust my refresh rate each time i change my resolution on my tv screen, just thought i would add this incase any one has the same problem
