Tell me what I'm doing wrong...

[manoroid]

I have the new pro 3 and I downloaded the newest intel driver on the website and things still looks a little pixelated when watching youtube and movies. I switched of the display power saving technology and things still look weird. I even did a 4k youtube stream and I still see little boxes. ( my internet is 60 down /60 up) Tell me if Im over thinking all this? Should it be this way or do I have some settings incorrect. The screen is super sharp for text but when I mostly watch videos I see lots of noise on the screen. Images also look a little overly sharp.

I don't know man, maybe you're holding it wrong...

maybe you didn't install the Intel drivers properly... maybe try putting back the original drivers and see if that fixes it...

I have 5/.6 - 5 megabit down & .6 megabit up and high def videos on YouTube look great. Some videos start at a very low resolution but offer higher. Make sure you're watching a video at 720 or 1080 if possible. I'm sure you would see some pixilation at lower resolutions. Maybe you can get a screenshot of what you're talking about. I only use the native IE desktop and MUIE for browsing.

Are you on battery? This has been an issue on the Intel GMA for a long while...you can correct through the Intel GMA Control Panel...

Ive used driver sweeper to get any remains of unwanted files off before installing the intel driver.

I don't use the Intel Reference Driver personally as I found that it impacts battery life and Miracast Stability.

But will I load it and it will require me to reboot...so BRB

Launch the Control Panel

Select Video and adjust as needed until you get the profile you're looking for...

For Battery Performance chose Power and disable the Power Management

BTW - I've rolled the driver back already as it limits Miracast to 720p

 

[kundas1]

maybe that's what is happening with the OP, like yourself?

in display setting, change zoom to 100% and see.

ok Ive gone through all the other options with the driver settings and its weird. Adjusting the bars doesn't do anything in real time. Just within the picture in the driver settings. Maybe im just a perfectionist. Im just trying to get the best out of this display.
