Netflix framerate issue only with extended desktop

[skizzo]

I have HDMI out going from video card to TV, seems last week after updating Nvidia drivers I get choppiness in Netflix...it's as if frames are being dropped, there's just not smooth motion.

I use the extended desktop feature with my 560 Ti. The thing is, a) the choppiness only occurs with Netflix..playing a movie in WMP it's fine...and b) this only happens with extended desktop, if I switch to duplicate instead of extended, there's no chop. I need to have it extended so I can use PC and watch Netflix at same time.

I read this might be related to Windows Aero, so i disabled and the chop went away, but got some horrid frame tearing on my TV. Futhermore I don't care to have Aero disabled because of the nasty colors and terrible window animation.

Anybody have a clue as to what's going on here? Why does it work fine when cloned but not extended? I don't believe Aero should have to be disabled. Everything was a-ok until I upgraded to latest Nvidia drivers and I'm not about to go back because the previously drivers were severely old.

reinstall microsoft silverlight?

Wish it were that simple but Silverlight isn't the issue here, I did reinstall just for the heck of it. I do have hardware acceleration enabled as well. Honestly think it's something up with Windows because it only seems to affect Netflix.
