MacBook Pro to Panasonic 4K TV cable advice?

[Graham_Brazendale]

HI, I have a 2020 M1 Apple MacBook Pro connected to a Panasonic 4K TV via a USB C to 4k HDMI 2.0 cable, which works pretty well as a monitor.

With some images, it is slightly "blocky" and I wonder if it has anything to do with the quality of the HDMI cable?

would a better quality cable help at all?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Best regards,

Graham.

Unlikely to. If you do buy another cable though buy from Amazon where you can return it if it doesn’t make a difference like I suspect it won’t.

You need to look at the TV settings to optimise for computer monitor use.

Check this:

Should You Use a 4K TV as a Monitor?

You can use a 4K TV as a monitor for your computer if it outputs in 4K, but before you connect your PC to a TV, you need to adjust some settings.
