I have an Asus N53SV notebook with intel Core i7 (Intel HD3000) + Nvidia GT 540M Optimus technology. Soon I want to buy a monitor and I want to use it through HDMI.
I heard that HDMI stricted to Intel HD3000 graphic? So, this means I TOTALLY can't use my Nvidia GT540M on external monitor!??? I don't want to control the whole screen with Nvidia card through HDMI. I just want for example: Photoshop, games, media players run on Nvidia GPU just like on laptop screen, as I selected on the Nvidia control panel.
If it's true that Intel HD3000 liberating the whole HDMI output, well, this is a bummer....
EDIT:
Right now I've got an LCD monitor with VGA output for testing.
If the Nvidia GPU can work on VGA output, is it also true for HDMI?
