Grainy Blu-ray playback

So I just got the Pioneer Slim External Blu-ray Writer bdr-xd05b. I played La La Land (it was the closest Blu-ray I had on hand) and realized that it look sort of grainy, almost the way a gif looks like.
Here's my setup:
Dell Inspiron 13
running on intel core i7
using Cyberlink's PowerDVD

Not too sure why it shows up a bit grainy, any advice would be appreciated.
 
I'd test video playback in general. Can you try watching a 1080p Youtube video? Can you download a 1080p videoclip from somewhere else? It can be very short. The idea is to see if you are just having trouble with the blu ray player, the Cyberlink software, or if your computer can't handle 1080p(blu ray) quality.

I think the problem might be the film grain. I tried out another Blu-Ray and I have to squint to see it.
