    Hey guys,

    I got my new HP dv6tqe about 10 days back. I got the 1366x768 screen.
    Today I noticed that when I go fullscreen on Youtube or any other video streaming website, the screen shifts to the left. And the controls on the video screen (Toggle fullscreen, volume controls, etc) shift as well. I have to click an inch to the right to get the button I wish to click on. I constantly keep hitting the wrong button due to this when I am on fullscreen, which is really frustrating. The fullscreen works fine using VLC or windows media player.

    Also the screen shrinks (get black bars on left and right side) when switching to fullscreen. Is this due to the resolution of the screen?

    Has anyone else experienced this? I am still within my 21 day return window, so I can just return the laptop and get another one.

    Please help

    I also had a problem with this when I initially used my dv6. To fix this, turn off hardware acceleration.

    On a youtube video, right click on the video, click on settings. Uncheck the "enable hardware acceleration." Refresh the video and check if the problem occurs again.
