Hi guys, I had some parts laying around and decided to try my luck at building a home media center. I installed XBMCbuntu, upgraded to the latest stable release, 12.3. The interface is lovely and vivid but when I try play a 720p video off my network the quality is quite blurry and washed out and worse than playing the file directly off my TV (Samsung EH5300) or my XBOX360. Is this normal or due to my intergrated graphics card? I've played around trying to change to software decoding but it looks like that has made it worse. There is no lagging and it seams like the CPU usage doesn't go to high so I'm not sure if there is a way to push it higher to give better quality?
Specs
Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H
Intel G1820 2.7Ghz Celeron
4GB Ram
I also compared it to my normal PC and the normal PC's quality is also much better, but that could be because of using an i7, 280x and more ram? Sorry for the questions but I've googled for hours and couldn't find a solution.
