Choppy video on T500: any suggestions?

#1 Post by LisaKali » Mon Jan 09, 2012 11:07 am

I bought a T500, video display is better than my previous T43, but still choppy. Strangely, the choppiness varies by web-source: HBO-GO is good, Hulu is OK but some delaty, and web-NBC is very choppy, as bad as the T43 I used to have.

I am running Chrome... Also, Hulu seems to be degrading, 2 months ago it was netter than now. I have appropriate Virus protection, weekly scan, etc. Does memory matter? Do I need the max 4 gig (with a 432 bit OS), or is the CPU more important in these things?

I got Veebeam for Xmas and this has become a real problem with broadcasting USB to my flat screen..,.,

Thank you!

Try IE9, and install the latest IE9 Flash player, see if that works.

Indeed, you'll want to try pingtest.net and speedtest.net

I know I'm responding late, but I had 2gb in my T500 when I first bought it and it was choppy when running full screen 720p or 1080p video from Youtube. When I upgraded to 8gb RAM, the problem ceased to exist. My T500 has integrated graphics.
