    I plug in my GX660 (15.6") on a 23-inch LED TV via HDMI. I was hoping to play games there with a wireless keyboard and mouse but the text just looks small (I play MMO's so I need to read the texts). I'm not sure if it's the laptop or the TV setting that needs tweaking.

    Has anyone tried connecting their laptop to their TV for gaming? Did you have the same problem with the text size?

    Can you increase the UI scale from within the game?

    Put the tv on PC settings. Somewhere in the picture menu on the tv.
