Displaying HDCP content on internal laptop display

#1

I recently purchased a laptop (Acer V3-551-8442) that will not display HDCP content on the internal display but will through the hdmi to tv port. Does anyone know of a current laptop that will display HDCP content on the internal display? The internal video card specs list internal vga specs but don't know if that is common. (As a reply to a previous poster who stated that any internal connection other than display port would work.) I was told by Acer that none of their laptops support HDCP on internal display. Using HD Homerun prime on Desktop with no problems. Win 7 on all machines.

It's possible your laptop gpu uses Display Port which was left out of WMC support. See:
