Windows 10: Video playback issue on external monitor

Hello,


I've got an issue with some videos that are not being played on my external monitor.


I have Dell Inspiron 7567 laptop and Dell P2213t monitor connected via DVI-D to HDMI cable.


Some videos just won't work on the external monitor, while on laptop there is no problem with playback. Audio is also good.


The frame of video just freezes on the monitor.


This issue is found only on a part of videos/websites. Maybe it is a problem of codec or something.

Does anyone know what is up with that monitor? is it software issue or harware/cable issue?

:)

Video Playback issues

Hi Cami,

An outdated browsers or display driver is on of the possible causes of playback issues. To isolate your concern, kindly answer the following:

• What's the current build of your computer? Press Windows key + R and then type winver.
• Does the issue happen on web browsers only? Can you try to play a video file from your local storage to see if the same issue persists?
• Did you try to clear the browsing history and resetting your web browsers?
• Did you get a specific error message?
• Do you have a Flash Player installed in your web browsers?

Meanwhile, kindly run the Video Playback troubleshooter. Go to Settings> Update & Security> Troubleshoot> Video Playback> Run the troubleshooter> Restart your computer.

Note: The automated troubleshooter will try to identify and then resolve the issues that it finds.
