    I have a Samsung RC512 laptop with sandy bridge and GT 525m video card. PROBLEM, the video out is controlled by the intel graphics and therefore stutters! How can I disable the intel hd for use on the HDMI? Why have an HDMI out if you can't get high resolution to a big screen? I cannot disable it in the bios. I was thinking about uninstalling the driver but it may reinstall anyway. HELP
