Samsung Screen clarity

I have a Samsung TV and an LG TV on the same computer as monitors. 32" 1080p

As long as I have the LG TV turned on, even though the picture itself has now turned completely black and the TV is worthless, the Samsung TV is crisp and clear and images are smooth and pretty.

If I turn off the LG TV, the Samsung gets grainy and washed out and looks really bad.

When I turn on the LG, the screen flashes that it is set to 60Hz when I turn it off, the screen flashes 60p. I don't know what those values represent.

When the LG is on, the TV setting on the Samsung offers me a Dynamic Picture mode and that is the setting.
Once the LG is off, the Dynamic isn't even an option, but Entertainment and Standard are the only 2 options, and Entertainment is a tad better than Standard, but images are still unacceptable.

I'm describing images, but fonts are also choppy. Just bad overall picture.

I have adjusted the resolution, the settings, everything, and I can't find the problem. The problem isn't with truetype or fonts, because images are horrific and have nothing to do with fonts.

I've reset the picture to default settings on the Samsung. I've altered color, contrast, sharpness, etc. etc. So please don't suggest that.

Any solution to this problem? I've googled and found a similar problem and the guy just ended up taking the TV back and getting a new one. Not an option for me.

Thanks!

What operating system?
Are video card drivers up to date?
What type of cable to the tvs? hdmi or display port?
What resolution do you have for each tv? (in windows)

ASKER

Windows 10 Pro
Video Card drivers are up to date:
Device Manager / Display Adapters / AMD Radeon R9 270
Monitor drivers are up to date
HDMI Cable

I've tried every resolution that is possible. However, currently, both are:
1600x900

When I turn off the broken TV, the resolution for the working monitor changes to:
1776x1000
However, changing it back to 1600x900 doesn't fix the problem.

Thanks.
