My 14" MacBook Pro connects to a Samsung Q6 TV via the HDMI port but the screen is switching back and forth from normal screen and high resolution screen and happen every other second. What can go wrong by just plug in the HDMI TV to the MacBook Pro?

How to make my MacBook Pro display on my Samsung TV? I connected the cable, with an adaptor to a MacBook (13 inch, 2019) thunderbolt port. The TV (built Oct. 2013) said no signal to the HDMI channel I was plugged into. I powered up an old MacBook Pro (mid 2012), connected it with the same cable (less thunderbolt adaptor) to the same TV, and it worked nicely. How to tell the MacBook Pro to send a signal to an external display? If this is not automatic, how to tell the MacBook Pro that the Samsung is connected? How to tell the Samsung that a signal is coming in? How to check that the thunderbolt adaptor (right out of the box) is working?

Hi there tho129Mac,

We understand you're experiencing an issue with the screen resolution when connecting your MacBook Pro to a TV.

Do you notice the same issue when connecting to another external display?

What about with a different HDMI cable or to another HDMI port?

Cheers!
