Relevant hardware:
TV: Toshiba 46" 1080p 120Hz LED HDTV 46L5200U
HTPC:
mobo: GIGABYTE GA-F2A75M-D3H FM2 AMD A75 (Hudson D3) SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
cpu/gfx: AMD A8-5600K Trinity 3.6GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) Socket FM2 100W Quad-Core Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic ...
Windows 7 ultimate
latest amd drivers
Just to be clear i'm NOT talking about the "soap opera" effect that's caused by film stabilization (called ClearMotion on the Toshiba TV) first thing I did was turn that off.
The picture looks absolutely great, vivid colors, good brightness, no edge bleed, action scenes are amazing etc... but when playing 720p/1080p mkv's from the PC, it looks very slightly sped up. Its hard to notice most of the time, but sometimes its definitely there. People walking/hand motions can just look slightly too fast. Some files seem to be more noticable than others.
Is this a setting that can be adjusted? I've played around with 50hz to the TV instead of 60hz, and it actually did look better but I don't think this is the right way to go about it.
The TV has Cinema Mode which is supposed to help, but I can't actually change this since the HTPC is in 1080p all the time, i think anyway. There is more info about that http://s3.amazonaws.com/szmanuals/2b6ad8...b56a9028e9 pg77
I've also heard of a program called AutoFrequency, but I don't know enough to know if thats the solution here. I remember some frame blending options in mpc-hc too but I have no experience there.
This isn't a huge problem, i'd just like to get everything really dialed in if I can. Thanks in advance for any advice.
