HP Recommended
Product: ZBook 15 G2 Mobile Workstation
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hello:

 

I purchased a ZBook 15 G2 Mobile Workstation in February 2016 and noticed something I didn't expect with this computer.  When I play video on both screens the external screen is playing at 15fps.  I saw this with my older EliteBook but expected that it would be cured since the new one includes a video card.  I assumed that with a video card that both monitors could process video at the given frame rate.

 

How do I make use of the video card or other setting to maximize the video playback quality (and other graphics) on the external monitor?

 

Details: I have a ZBook 15 inch G2 Mobile Workstation with an NVIDIA Quadro K610M Graphics card, am running Windows 7, have 16 GB RAM and a 7200 RPM hard drive.  I am using a VGA (XVGA) output.  I believe there is also a thunderbolt 2 output.

 

I am using a software called TrialDirector that utilizes Windows Media Player.  The video is playing on both screens, but the screens are set in Extended Screen mode.  The software mirrors the video onto both screens.

 

There must be a way to set the onboard screen to run from the onboard graphics and the external to run from the card.

 

Thanks in advance.
