    Hi guys. I got a Dell 7567 a while ago but hadn't had the time to play anything on it until now.

    Since I don't mind playing some games with a controller I thought it would be cool to connect my Notebook to my 55" TV (a Samsung JS8500).

    But when I use my TV (connected directly with a HDMI) I'm noticing pretty big performance issues.
    For example. In Quantum Break (steam version) I'm getting drops to the mid 30-40 Fps in areas that would at most drop to 56fps when playing using the notebook screen.

    In both cases I have the resolution set to 1080p and graphical presets to medium.


    Does anyone know what might be causing this? I thought that mabye it was Steams big picture mode causing the problem so just to be sure I disabled it and played with mouse and keyboard while connected to the TV and the issues didn't go away.


    Thx
