    Hey Guys,

    I tried searching through the forums, but was unable to find an answer. In my office, I'm connected to an external monitor via VGA to an LCD screen.

    I tried playing Diablo 3 on it, and I noticed when there's a large number of objects displaying on the game, it starts to lag. This is even after I've turned down the graphics to the lowest setting.

    When I play it directly from the LCD screen it doesn't lag, and I can actually play it on high with no issues. Do you guys know what I could do to alleviate the lag, or the possible reason as to why it lags? Thanks in advance
