Screen tearing solution for PC connected to TV LCD via HDMI in movies?

Hi guys,

I just bought a brand new gamers pc with a GTX970 strix and as for the tv connected to it via HDMI cable it is a LG SLIM LED 42SL9500. And while gaming no pb, but as soon as i want to watch a movie... i have some bad ass screen tearing...

I tried everything from taking down windows 7 aero background to making sure the graphics card is correctly set up for my screen ( 60hz refresment )... I really don't know what to do and it's been 2 month i tried... I even changed my tv screen with a newer one.

Help! can"t stand that screen tearing anymore!
thanks

Movies cannot tear, unless it's traced all the way back to the source media. Are you watching online videos? Link the video. Have you installed latest flash?

RMB click desktop and select Nvidia control panel / manage 3d settings. Click global settings tab. Scroll down to vertical sync and try different settings off/on/adaptive and see if it changes or helps.

^ 3d settings don't make a difference.
Video playback uses 2d clocks & settings only.

As Suzuki says movies cannot tear - they'll playback at their native frame rate irregardless of what your screen is set to- this is normally 24,25 or 30htz.

What playback software ate you using ? What format are these video files??

Hey guys, I'm watching anything from youtube videos to vlc, videos from popcorn time or from my synology server (video station)... I tried playing with Nvidia control panel... no changes...

And I just updated flash, no changes.

Something i just noticed, is when I move a window fast with my mouse, there's a sort of lag, I can see the "trace" of the window for a few seconds. It's not all the time, but might be related to the pb above...

Suzuki@1473780084@1473780163 · Sep 5, 2015

Turn off all post processing effects on your TV. Head into the menu and enable "GAME" mode or similar, it's named different depending on brand. If that doesn't fix it, please post a picture of the problem, so that we get a better idea of what's going on.

madmatt30 · Sep 5, 2015

Suzuki on the ball again - game mode should disable picture processing.once on game mode press your aspect ratio button on remote & select 1:1 dot to dot or similar.
This disables TV scaling so you a get a 100% direct GPU signal.

Failing this do you have any 3rd party codec packages installed?? A lot of these do not play nicely with maxwell cards!

Suzuki@1473780084@1473780163 · Sep 5, 2015

Yeah, and even if that doesn't fix it, 99.9% of TV's come shipped with 16:9 as default, that's not 1:1 mapping, not too sure why they do that.

crazynnaf · Sep 5, 2015

so I put game mode on my tv screen, no changes.
The scaling is on "original signal" (which comes from the computer).

I just took pics of the screen tearing :

^ that is indeed awful - its not strictly screen tearing though.
That's windowed - is it the same if run full screen mode (non windowed)??
As I asked before do you have any video codec packs installed??

Try downloading kodi.

http://kodi.tv/download/

Try a video in that full screen mode - kodi has its own hardware video drivers & is totally isolated from anything else.ifvthe video plays fine in this its a driver or software issue.

BTW - reenable aero mate - disabling it is nonsensical - it can make things worse.

crazynnaf · Sep 5, 2015

Hi again,

So i installed kodi and here is a pic of the result playing a tv show in it :

Also, i tried full screen mode and doesn't change anything...

Sorry but i didn"t understand "reenable aero mate - disabling it is nonsensical - it can make things worse." are you talking about the windows 7 aero background? If yes, i have put it back on.

crazynnaf · Sep 5, 2015

I had a codec installed : K-lite codecs (downloaded on https://ninite.com/) but i removed it and it didn't change anything.

crazynnaf · Sep 5, 2015

Also, sometimes (i mostly use chrome) the page i'm looking at becomes all grey (link bellow) and I have to re-charge it to get the text, image, etc... of the webpage. Might have a link to the pb?

Do you think my graphic card is faulty? it only has 2 month...
And everything is working fine; i mostly play SC2 (Stracraft 2), no tearing there or problems...

madmatt30 · Sep 6, 2015

What are the rest of your system specs - mainly CPU & motherboard??

If you dont know download cpu-z the info will be there.

crazynnaf · Sep 6, 2015

Hey again, I have :

- CPU : Intel Core i7-4790K (4.0 GHz)
- MOTHER BOARD : ASRock Fatal1ty Z97x Killer
- Graphics card : ASUS STRIX GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5 - GeForce GTX 970 4 Go

madmatt30 · Sep 6, 2015

Once again absolutely normal results mate :-/
Open geforce experience ,then see if shadowplay is enabled.
If it is disable it - or at least disable the screen capture tick box.
Try again.

crazynnaf · Sep 6, 2015

It was disabled already.
Wanna try team viewer?
Thanks for all the efforts... I'm lost there.

madmatt30 · Sep 6, 2015

Mobile bound at the minute mate so can't.

There's a conflict somewhere.

Boot to bios , enter advanced menu/chip set configuration.

Set igpu multi monitor to disabled ,save & exit.
Reboot windows & enter control panel/device manager.
Make sure no yellow exclamation marks.

Under display adapters only the nvidia card should be showing now as Intel HD graphics are now completely disabled.

Try your video again.

crazynnaf · Sep 6, 2015

Ok. If you have time later that'd be much appreciated!

I booted to Bios, the multi monitor was already disabled.
Yep, only Nvidia card either in the graphics card or display adaptaters...

here is a screen shot of what i see (sorry it's in French...) :

Type

madmatt30 · Sep 6, 2015

In nvidia control panel make sure 3d global settings are.

Triple buffering - on
Vertical sync - adaptive.

Suzuki@1473780084@1473780163 · Sep 6, 2015

Try disable hardware acceleration in flash. Then use Afterburner and see if the memory clock changes. I still think it's flash causing this.

madmatt30 · Sep 6, 2015

^ Suzuki - I would have agreed but kodi has its own built in isolated video codecs.
If that tearing is happening using kodi then its not flash based.

OP please list everyything you have tried. Sometimes people ignore potential solutions.
