    Hey gang,

    I have one of the original E14's with the Radiance screen and the switchable graphics. I've been looking up the PC to our TV via HDMI to watch movies and I get a pretty annoying stuttering every minute or two. The audio doesn't appear to be affected - just the video.

    I first went to AMD's site to see if I could upgrade the display drivers and they just tell me its incompatible and to contact the manufacturer. I went to HP's site and see that v8.771.1.0 seems to be the most recent with a date of 2010.

    Not sure exactly how to proceed here. Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Are you doing dual screens at the same time, or only the tv screen withh the laptop screen disabled?

    Good thought. I had been using both screens, as when changing to the TV only, it was overscanning a bit. I'll try turning off the laptop display and try again.
