TV defect?

[Mark Kaine]

Tried using a Panasonic lcd TV, a bit older, apparently it works fine for watching TV, but there were several issues when connected to my PC:

 

- settings: can't get into them, they close after ~3 seconds and the

remote is really unresponsive

the "smart TV" functions/ app keeps popping up also every few seconds , but is , of course, also highly unresponsive, so its just in some sort of weird loop ...

happens also when I remove batteries from the remote too, so its probably not a remote issue

 

- windows said 1080p, "150%" (why blow up the screen like that , the TV is bigger than my monitor?)

 

- tried watching a video... frequent stutters,  artifacting,  unwatchable literally...

 

 

What could be wrong with it? Seems its not just one thing thats broken...?

I don't know the model , will update if I find it.

 

Switched back to my Asus monitor,  works as always, 1080p, 100%, no stutters whatsoever,  thankfully...

 

 

Its just weird how a TV can malfunction like this? Plays TV programs just fine,  but mp4s starts to freak out completely haha...
