    That does not help with the poor image quality and chrome, but perhaps it helps with the BSOD issue others had. I never had it crash, just very poor quality in fullscreen...

    HTML5 changes the poor image quality in fullscreen for me but I also didn't have any problems with crashing.

    I'm not sure if this is issue is related, but I have the new samsung series 7. When I selected firefox to run on the AMD graphics card as compared to the intel, firexfox runs really slow. I have the same issue with the "bubbles" screen saver. If the screen saver runs off the AMD, the screen saver is choppy. When run off the intel graphics card, the screen saver runs smooth. Any idea why the AMD graphics card runs performance is beneath the intel?

    Check again. The full screen unclear video is because of the way Flash renders, so HTML5 player will resolve this.

    I wonder why the flash renders fine on the HP envy 15 3rd gen which is basically using the same graphics

    Well, it looks the same no matter if I choose HTML5 or not on Chrome.

    If I use IE it looks fine, but in Chrome its bad resolution in fullscreen even when a HD (720p+) video is chosen, no matter if HTML5 is active or not...

    I think it's better and newer drivers from AMD?

    Where is the mod? Games are not running as well as they should and Skyrim won't work at all.

    Does anyone know how to solve the Flash issue when using Chrome or Firefox? It's not only a problem of image quality because sometimes the ATI driver crashes while watching Flash videos and the screen becomes green for a few seconds or even the whole system crashes.

    However, everything seems to work fine on Internet Explorer but I don't want to use it!

    I'm not sure but I think this problem isn't related to the OpenGL issue you're talking about. Anyway, I'm really disappointed with Samsung, I just spent 1200€ on a laptop that can't run Flash videos on Chrome or Firefox.
