Solve : Choppy Playback?

1.	Solve : Choppy Playback?
Answer» Hello! First time posting here and I appreciate any help or suggestions. I RECENTLY upgraded my dinasour Dimension 2400 with a HIS Radeon HD 4350 H435H512PP video card. Everything is installed and running great. The main reason for updating the VC was to be able to watch movies on my big screen HDTV from the internet. The television is a Samsung LN46A550 1080p 60 Hz and I have HDMI to HDMI connection from video card to the TV. I remember hearing that I could seriously damage my tv if resolutions from the comptuer didnt match resolutions from the tv?? Therefore, before I attempted to watch a movie from a website I noticed that the ATI was indicating the display settings in desktop mode were just 800/600. I therefore, fearing that those resolution settings would ruin my TV, changed it to 1920/1080. The result was the desktop icons shrunk quite a bit and open windows were more difficult to read. I then tried PLAYING the movie in full screen and it was extremely choppy, like frame by frame. It seemed to work fine WITHOUT full screen. I did NOT attempt to watch the movie in full screen under the 800/600 resolution settings. I am very novice when it comes to computers. Is there a solution to my problem? I appreciate any help you can provide me with this. Thank you! I use my laptop with my HD 40" 1080p TV at res 1024 by 768. I have never heard of a problem where a computer could damage a TV by using the wrong resolution. I truly don't see how that could happen.... What programmes are you using in the background when you play these movies? What programme are you playing the movies with? Are you buffering these videos from the internet or are you playing them from your hard drive? I am buffering from the website, it is quicksilverscreen. Not sure what player it uses.

I truly don't see how that could happen.... the same way a monitor can get damaged using the wrong resolution... but the problem is two-fold since Televisions don't all have the more diverse multi-sync abilities of a Monitor- for example older TVs simply tune to the RF input and "assume" it meets NTSC specifications for overscan and chroma/Luma format. However that being said newer televisions are far more resistant and do in fact recognize out of range values and often make adjustments for it.

Are they HD?the "problem" is simply because the graphics card cannot handle running the video full-screen at the higher resolution.
