Laptop screen broke, and as I don’t want to pay to repair it, I got a vga cable to connect it to a tv I dug out of the attic, problem being the display is ugly. It says unsupported but I want to believe I can make it work. Is it actually doable or is it a lost cause and to just get a monitor?

It might be 720p in which case 1280x720. Or 1080p with 1920x1080. Do the laptop and TV have HDMI? That'll be vastly more stable than VGA.
