Welcome to TSF.

Check your manual for the resolution(s) that your TV can accept and set your computer to that.

Return the converter cable and try a different brand.

Sounds like a problem with the cable. Try returning the cable and see if that works. If that doesn't solve the problem, take the TV back and get another one.
