So just recently I've started to notice that 1080p on Fullscreen is nowhere near as good as it was a couple months ago. I have no idea whats causing it but I'm noticing slower bitrate, like blurry images at times, shades of black being separated by pixels, etc.
Here is an example of watching some 1080p gameplay -> http://i.imgur.com/FmdTdYj.png
It just is nowhere near as sharp and crisp as it used to be. Is it just me? I've tried many other youtubers and their samples of 1080p but its almost the same results, its very jarring. Barely looks any different from 480p.
I have 50mbp/s download speed and 15mbps/ upload speed. This was taken from theradbrad playing AC Unity, his first part video. I've tried pewdiepie, markiplier, other well known gamers that provide almost flawless 1080p quality (despite youtubes compression). I can play 1080p on ultra fine with gtx 970.
I've triple checked monitor settings, tried going back to flash, back to html5, chrome, ie, firefox, etc., but nothing has worked so far. My friend tells me that he is able to get the near flawless quality and its something on my side streaming.
Please advise. I'm aware of the Youtube compression, but it shouldn't be this bad, and I've had great playback before this. Bitrate looks like its 4-6mbps whereas before, it could look somewhere above 16mbps.
