HDMI leads all yield the same quality picture, anyone that tells you different doesn't know what they're talking about.

Your HDMI cable may be causing your laptop to output in the native resolution of the TV depending on the streaming service, which could be too much for the laptop.

Not being able to access a web page is weird, I have a 2GB ram laptop with an 1.2Ghz processor that'll run Netflix so there's something more at play.


Access task manager when it happens, take a screen shot and post the screenshot, sort the processes by memory utilisation, I'd like to see what processes are utilising the most resources
