OK, so i just bought a new TV, LG LD550- 120hz
I was very excited to set up my pc, and stream amazing 1080P videos, however im getting some glitchy framerates. Every so often the video will do this minor skip, and it happens at random times. I have my pc hooked up via HDMI at 1920x1080.
Now ive been doing some serious troubleshooting, of course starting with my pc. Ive swapped out multiple video cards, 3 different ones, but am sticking with xfx 5770, as the others have all produced the same framerate problem. My pc also is 6 months old with a phenom x4 chip, 4gb ram...its plenty powerful to do HD video. The glitches still happen even playing low quality divx videos.
Now while watching movies on my 22" LCD PC monitor the videos play perfectly smooth, so i ruled out its not my PC. I even tried hooking up my pc through all different hdmi ports, and the vga port in the TV..and the same results happen.
Now i decided to try out the TV's built in video player from USB, that does divx, mkv etc...and the videos play PERFECT. Even when i turn on trumotion the videos are as smooth as can be, but again using my PC via hdmi, the videos have this annoying glitch when trumotion is on or off.
Why cant my tv play videos from my pc smoothly. Isnt it just another monitor? I really want to use my pc so i can use XBMC, its driving me crazy!
My only conclusion is the tv is doing some frame processing on its own and it gets out of synch with my PC video feed, and that is where the frames drop and become glitchy. Its very annoying, shouldnt my tv function perfect with an HTPC?
Thanks in advance.
