New Laptop Big Problems Windows 7-Help!
Hello,
I have just bought a new Laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium. Its a Samsung R530.
The Problem is this. All video looks bad on it. The quality is bad. It looks washed out and very grainy. Movement and sound is fine its picture quality which is the problem. DVD, Youtube, whatever if its a video file it just is inferior.
My old Laptop running XP did not have this problem. I have read other posts by other people who have migrated to Windows 7 who have had this problem.
My drivers are all up to date. That was the first thing I checked so thats not it.
I installed new Codecs(K-Lite) and did not help.
I have used several Media Player(VLC, Windows Media Player etc but changing Media Players had no effect.
I dont know a lot about either Windows 7 or Graphics issues as I am more into recording audio which I do in Windows XP so I could be missing something.
My screen resolution is at 1366*768 which is the recommended screen resolution.
Basically the video playback looks jaded lifeless as well as very grainy. There is absolutely no clarity. Although my Graphics card is not great it should be able to play DVDs with at least the same quality as my old 2004 Toshiba Laptop which plays all video fine.
I honestly dont know whats wrong. The video should be working perfectly out of the box. Its put a real downer on my new Laptop.
Any help or suggestions would be most gratefully received. I am willing to try anything.
