Wow I didn't know they make a notebook with a quadro video card. Its a long shot but it seems like you are having problems with the video card/video card driver. I know every time I build a computer, the first time that I turn it on it is like that.Everything is choppy when I scroll up or down. But after I install the video card driver it is fine.

Yup, from what I have read and heard its supposed to kick ass for 3d design and such, which is what I want because after I get back from Army training I'm going to look into school for that.

I thought about re-installing the driver, but it's not choppy while scrolling it scrolls just fine, it's just pictures and videos are fuzzy... kinda like if you put a water color painting effect on a pic in photoshop. I'm going to try updating the driver from NVIDIA see if that helps...

EDIT: figured it out. IE Scaling was on, turned it off and everything is good now.
