I have problem with video quality and there seem to be so many variables that I am now completely overwhelmed.
When I play movies from online sources like Hulu the video appears pretty good. When I download videos some look great but others not so much.
When I stream video from place like MSN or other news sources the video is almost unwatchable. It's grainy and blured. The buffering seems fine
but the video quality is terrible. I have some new hardware (below) but I'm mostly wondering about my Display. It is a new Samsung and maybe my
attempt at buying the best has backfired. It is capable of utilizeing the newest HD technology but I don't know if it is able to use the more common
media preoperly. The TV for instance (it has it's own tuner) when played without the computer comes in pretty bad but when I try it with the HD digatal
signal from Comcast it looks fantastic. I only have basic cable though and it seems it should come in at least as good as my old CRT TV. Is there a way to
ajust and test any these things in Vista or maybe a program I could get. I run my GeForce 9800GT OC at defaults and have the newest Adobe Flash. I even installed
a new BFG GX5500 Power Supply. I Would love any suggestions and thankyou.
