Do I still need a integrated graphic card or what

We just got a new laptop with HDMI connection and we linked it to the TV. Somehow, all videos played have severe red push. It doesn't happen with photos. When plugging a portable hard drive to TV directly the colours were right. On the laptop screen the colours are correct for both photos and images. However, as long as we play a video from the laptop on the TV via the HDMI it gets all wrong and have red push (even a bit of yellow push, if that exists). I tried using VLC instead of WMP and the red push was almost fixed, but still there. Trying K-Lite codec.

Yeah for USB ports!

I just confirmed today that portable hard drives can be plugged directly into my TV via USB port and run video and photos. However, there is a reduction in quality. And horrible loading speed in browsing mode (the speed is normal once the video is playing, but terrible wait to see the list of video available). I think I'll still try to get a laptop with HDMI, run the videos on laptop and do a PC-TV connection.

Still, in the mean time, I get to watch videos and check out photos on TV without having to move a computer near it :D
