Just thought I would bump it and see if anyone has any idea at all as its quite frustrating.

During playback bring up "videos-settings" screen, try different view mode and set as default for all movies....

Thankyou Bluray just tried that and whilst I can change the view modes its only showing on one side of the screen?



So even at 16:9 its only using half the screen

Bloody hell new it was going to be something easy, I just updated the video drivers and all good when I plugged this laptop in it said it installed new drivers from MS well I guess they suck as I downloaded the latest from Nvidia and it fixed the issue!

Thanks for your help bluray
