laptop and blue ray

my farther in law has just got his first laptop , and it comes with a blue ray player.
Now it plays the discs fine by its self , but when you connect it to the telly it says the graphics card is not conpatable. Does it need a new card or is it something else.
Cheers
Brad.

What breed of laptop is it? Was it sold as having tv out feature?

Can't put another video card into a laptop, they are all on board graphics, well all the ones I've seen are anyway.

Cheers

Rich

Disable the onboard video- Then play the DVD/BR.

Probably Fn and F5 on an Acer

The laptop won't be able to play a DVD/BR on both displays at the same time.
