Since I got my new pc (built myself) I have had some problems with the media quality (video), i thought that it first it was the monitor because it was very old. I have just switched to a 15' LCD and yet a still get a similar bad quality vide, I have tried using different applications such as Winamp 5 and WMP but the quality is the same on both.
To describe the quality, well its like the contrast and brightness have been turned up to a very high setting and when I dim the screen right down it still appears bright (compared to normal), the colour quality also seems to be bad, its hard to describe but it seems like I can make out the squares of colour. The graphics card itself uses DVI output but since my monitor uses Analogue i have a converter, I’m not sure if this could lead to the problem but it may help solve it. Everything else works and looks normal
I also have all in one Codec pack with the most up to date version and have installed Div X but there was no improvement in quality so I uninstalled it
Comp Spec:
AMD 64 3800+
2 Gigs RAM
NVIDIA Geforce 6800GT
