    Under the new NF player you can not full screen the player on a second monitor and have it stay that way, as soon as you click on the other monitor the player shrinks. It also tears quite a bit making the movie looks horrible plus it has the habit of thinking it is out of memory which isn't likely on an 8gb system.
