Unable to use external monitor in gaming mode

Im using an Acer Predator with a 2060 and an i7. I want to use my TV instead of my laptop monitor but while in big picture mode it only displays on the laptop. Desktop mode displays whatever I choose. I've seen a few posts but none with a solution. Can anyone give me a hand on this?

This guide for fixing monitors did not work(I may have done something wrong):
