HP/Compaq :: 1080p HD Video Playback On A Presario CQ40-332TU
Dec 18, 2009
I recently picked up a Compaq Presario CQ40-332TU - it's pretty much a bottom of the barrel bargain laptop, I know, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well it handled playback of 720p video, even output over HDMI to a 720p HDTV.
The relevant specs are as follows:
Intel T3400 (2.0GHz)
2 GB RAM
GMA 4500MHD
Running video through:
Quicktime 7.6.4
VLC 1.0.3
My question is, can this computer play 1080p video? My understanding of the integrated video card is that it SHOULD be able to handle 1080p playback quite smoothly. However, I can't ever seem to get it to run for more than 10 seconds at a time without dropping frames and getting video lag and severe ghosting / pixelization and artefacting. I'm currently running the RC1 of Windows7 (I'm waiting for the prices here in the Philippines to drop as they're a bit exorbitant)

I have a new 1647, I did a clean install of Windows 7, updated to latest Dell BIOS for this laptop and currently I am plugged in via direct connection (battery taken out) to a 130W power adapter.
I am using VLC to playback a 1080p anime video. For the most part, video playback was smooth up until like 10 minutes ago. Laptop is noticibly warm, VLC keeps buffering. I'm assuming it's throttling .....

Can the Compaq Presario CQ40-314TU handle a C2D mobile chip? It's stock with a T3400 but would it handle the T7600? The two chips are nearly identical with 65nm, 667MHz FSB, 35W power, and even packing type.

I have an HP HDX 16T with a P8400 at 2.26GHz and 4GB ram.
The video is nVidia 9600M GT driver 7.15.11.7622 with 512 dedicated memory. The TV is a Sony 46" Bravia KDL46V2500 1080P LCD connected via HDMI.
I have an MKV file that is 1080P & 8.4GB in size that will not play correctly.
The video is choppy and the audio out of sync.
I downloaded the latest versions of the following players/codecs.
KM Player
BS Player
VLC Player
CoreAVC
SM Player
All of these exhibit the behavior, some not as bad but all have an issue playing the files. In fact it seems to be any 1080P file that gives me issues.
All of my 720P play fine with any of the players listed above.
Is my hardware not up to the task? I know HP offered a blueray drive as an option so surely this computer should be able to play 1080P....

an issue I have, regarding video playback. Whenever I watch a video file on my HP DV6T, the playback seems rather grainy.
The video playback seemed much more clearer of a picture on my dv5z, and I am wondering if it has to do with the resolution.
Could this be because of the 16" 1366x768 resolution?
All I want is to be able to watch my movies or video files FULL SCREEN, and in good video quality.

i own 3 hp laptops, one is 6730s with low specification:
intel celeron 2G., 1G. ram, 160G. Hard, and intel graphics. few weeks ago i noticed some of my videos hang up and cause total crash. first it didn't concern me much, i though it is just software problem. but yesterday i tried to solve the problem; first thing i do is to reinstall media playback software, but the problem persist, i even tried different software without success. then i suspect driver problem, so i wen to hp site and downloaded latest intel graphic driver and again no luck. i decided to reinstall OS (Windows XP Professional SP3 clean install), everything went O.K. and i update many drivers including BIOS, then i installed media player and firstly it went well be after a while to problem arise again! the only way to get video playback normally is to go to advanced display setting and minimize hardware acceleration to disable 3D acceleration. what surprise me is games run O.K. at maximum hardware acceleration.

problems with video playback on any site that uses flash as their means of delivering video content.
Some examples of sites are youtube, HULU, and abc.com
everytime i go into full screen mode the video becomes choppy, delayed and just unbearable to watch.
I have a geforce 9200m gs with 512 mb of vram running at 1920x1200, a core 2 duo 2.0ghz HP dv4t running vista x64 (though i had problems with both windows 7 beta and vista x86) and i have the latest nvidia drivers and downloaded the latest flash software.
I have also tried multiple browsers (IE, firefox, chorme) and also tried both enabled and disabled hardware acceleration in the flash setting..

I'm converting my lap top from vista to xp pro:
mobo: Quanta 30d3
compaq presario F504eu
I've managed to install some of the drivers for my laptop but 2 yellow question marks are still in my device manager - under "other devices" there's a yellow question mark next to "unknown device" and "video controller (VGA compatible)"
hp's website doesn't list the nvidia driver or any other, as for the unknown device - well i'll find out about that later no doubt!
where i can
1. get my video driver
2. a complete list of driver downloads (free)

Does anybody know how well is the video playback on the Dell m1210, I am thinking about buying a used one and wondering if it can handle 1080p MKV files.
I am aware of the different CPU and GPU, so please tell what version you have. Also I heard that these laptops have overheating issues?

I tried playing a dvd for the first time (in PowerDVD and Media Player). It's extremely blocky and generally looks like crap. When using it in Hybrid SLI though, the video looks fine. The integrated card should be more than capable of upconverting a DVD so that it doesn't look so horrible. Notice the lip of the counter and see how much blockier it looks in the first picture than the second.

I just picked up the Sony Vaio F series from Best Buy and noticed that the video colors are distorted (bluish) when playing blu-ray or regular videos on the laptop. I tried tinkering with the display and nvidia settings. No luck. Pictures / images look fine. Only videos have the odd bluish color.

Will the M1330 HDMI output 1080p video and 5.1 audio at the same time? I can't seem to find the answer to this. I'm planning on getting a Plasma TV with a DVD 5.1 Audio system.

I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 notebook. Win XP w/SP2. All recent updates + as far as I know, no virus or malware + latest Java and flash software + latest Nvidia GoForce 5200 driver
Problem: Video playback in flash players like www.dailymotion.com is choppy when notebook is running on battery. The same video playback is perfect when I connect the external power supply.

I just got a new laptop. But there seems to be a problem with the Broadcom Wireless Driver. When I install the driver it always stops at the middle and says Error"PBR_REL_5_10 827" Do you think that the Wifi(device) is broken? I just installed Vista.

I have a DV5 1010TX, with a Bluray /DVD combo BC5500S. I tried Win 7 to find that the Blu-Ray playback using Media Smart DVD from the HP website is unstable & essentially unusable. With Vista the playback using QuickPlay is faultless.

I have a friend who brought the DV2-1027 (canadian version, maybe I make a mistake with the exact model number) with staples. When we start a movie from the external DVD, there's no sound that I can't hear but I hear sound on windows or on youtube for example.
Do you have an Idea about what it is ( tomorrow I will update the graphic card driver to verify if this is the problem, if not I don't know what will be the problem.
