Is this lag caused by the graphics card or my monitor?

So im watching a dvd on my samsung 970p and i get this weird distrotion. Im running a 8800 OC GT 512mb. I get this disortion whenever there is movement, although its usually not this bad. Thoughts? Thank you!

Looks like something isn't deinterlacing it properly.

If you can somehow hook it up on a different TV/Monitor that will figure the cause out real quick.

probably a monitor issue almost all lcd screens suffer ghosting which looks similar to what you posted... although it also looks like what cjl said, that its not de-interlacing properly

Yes try it on a different tv/monitor... also try it on a CRT monitor/tv if you have one as it will show you whether its your monitor or gpu, if you still see this on a monitor such as a CRT its the gpu... if not its the monitor

Well, i tied it on my roommates computer. he also has vlc and a LCD panel....and it still had the funny blurring, so im guessing its a coding issue.

my main concern was if it was caused by a 6ms transfer speed of my monitor.

Is that a screenshot?

You can't tell if the screen is ghosting from screenshot from within the program, as ghosting happens only on the screen

since the same thing happens on yer roommates comp it might be the source movie or VLC itself

try powerdvd or something as to see if it blurs like that as well

this is a screenshot. deinterlacing wasn't even turned on, so im trying the different features now to see what works best.
