📎 AI Summary:
The user reports experiencing performance issues with Aero when playing videos on a large TV connected via onboard HDMI, despite the onboard GPU being capable of handling Aero according to various sources. After testing by switching the TV connection between the onboard HDMI and the dedicated ATI card, the problem was resolved, indicating that the onboard solution struggled with Aero on the larger screen. The overall sentiment suggests that onboard graphics may have limitations with Aero on larger displays, and hardware switching can help mitigate this.

I have a pc with 3 monitors, 2 connected to a ATI 3870 card and one connected to the onboard 785G HDMI connection. The HDMI one is a 32inch LCD TV. When I put a video to play on the big tv, a popup appears saying that window is performing slowly and recommends shifting from aero to basic. I checked the memory and performance of the pc and everything seems fine. I thought maybe the 785G couldn't handle Aero but every article I read says it can so I'm at a loss as to what to do.

UPDATE:
I changed my TV from the onboard vid to the video card and vice versa and that seems to have resolved the issue. Very odd since the onboard vid was using 512MB of my ram for processing power. Seems to work fine on smaller monitors but anyone using onboard vid with Aero on larger screens is going to have an issue.
