Profile when connecting laptop to TV

[Milehigh]

I recently connected my laptop to my Sony TV so I can play videos (from within Firefox).  The built-in laptop screen was cal’d with DisplayCal previously.  I was thinking that wouldn’t affect the HDMI output, but apparently it does.  When I dug into the settings, my display device was shown properly in Windows (as my Sony TV).  However, it  had the laptop’s screen profile associated with it.  I manually set it to the standard sRGB IEC 61966-2-1 profile, and that seems to look good (since my TV is already calibrated).  Is this the correct way to handle things?

Also, should I leave the “automatically fix profile associations” box checked?

Thanks!!

Standard is probably good.  A calibration would scan its colorspace  and set the profile for the tv.   Even a scan without correction would do a profile for the tv.   A scan with would fix any video card adjustments to its video output needed to match the tv input.  One output of a device should match a input of device if they are digital but the parts inside getting too digital are off sometimes.

Thanks, sounds good!  I may try to run a calibration at some point, but TBH, it looks pretty good as is.
