I wonder if the laptop simply wasn't up to the task of playing a large ProRes file, hence the sluggish playback. A consumer laptop with a slow, fragmented drive, especially if it has a bunch of apps left running (internet, MS Office, etc) is likely to struggle with ProRes.
But cables and connection may also have been an issue, yes.

> Dave, thanks for the reply. The method you outline below is precisely what I did. I figured there would be no quality hit, but I've never been 100% sure. We watched the export down on a computer beforehand, but the actual screening took place with the laptop hooked up to TV (I wasn't there.) So I wonder if it was simply a fault with the TV or the computer-to-TV connection. Apparently they had to use a very long HDMI cable which they bought at the last minute. Could the length have been a factor?
