Have new laptop, HDMI seems to work fine, see everything on the TV, moment I start a movie, can see it on laptop but TV screen goes black, sound an subtitles work. Old windows 8 HP also Nvidia (just older) works fine. Netflix says it is a HDCP problem with my HP...? Cant find my Nvidia card on Nvidia since it is an OEM.... Very tiring.... how to I fix this. see other posts but about different equipment an blu ray players... not applicable here.

@RobReeve If you're seeing static or blackouts when you watch Netflix on a Windows computer with multiple monitors, it typically indicates an issue with your primary monitor's refresh rate. Follow the troubleshooting steps below to resolve the issue.
Adjust your display settings
-
Right-click the desktop.
-
Select Display Settings.
-
Select Advanced Display Settings.
-
Select Display Adapter Properties.
-
Select the Monitor tab.
-
Select Screen refresh rate.
-
Select a screen refresh rate of 120 Hz or lower.
-
Select Apply.
-
Try Netflix again.
Troubleshoot your monitor setup
-
Bypass any HDMI converters by connecting your monitor directly to your computer.
-
If you're using an HDMI cable, try reversing the ends, or try a new HDMI cable.
-
If you are using multiple monitors, unplug them from your computer, then plug them back in one at a time, trying Netflix after each attempt.
-
If you only experience this error with one monitor, you may have an HDCP issue. We recommend contacting the monitor manufacturer for more assistance, or leaving the device disconnected while streaming.
