i thought these 2 issues might be related somehow, so i decided to put them in 1 thread...
PROBLEM 1:
when im trying to play youtube/simple flash games/content on chrome browser, i get this kind of "flickering" happening every now and then, as you can see on this short clip:
WHAT is that and how do i fix that? i tried the same content on firefox, and although the same issue happens, it's not that visible, but it's there.
maybe it's something to do with my monitor not able to process it correctly, hmm? my current display is actually a LCD-TV (im getting a pc monitor eventually); a sony kdl-48w605b
PROBLEM 2:
what is also interesting (and quite annoying) is that when i play 1080p videos and clips, the screen sort of changes colors and resolution so the pictures becomes more...crisp... sort of. watch this clip (it's a bit difficult to see, but as i start the clip, the screen seems to change something, look at the blue border color differences). once i exit the clip, it changes back to normal again):
important note: i thought this would be a Media Player Classic (since that is my preferred media player), so i decided to run the same clips on VLC, which actually worked fine. buuut, the same "resolution change" happens also when i choose to set videos to 1080p on i.e youtube....
i have tried to update my chrome, gpu (gtx 980), firefox and adobe flash, but no success.
any tips on how i can fix these issues?
SOLVED:
so, after some heavy googling and youtubing, i eventually solved BOTH issues
problem 1: sooo.
1> first, update gpu + adobe flash.
2> go to chrome://flags - DISABLE smooth scrolling, relaunch browser, go back to flags, now ENABLE smooth scrolling and relaunch browser.
3> go to your Nvidia CP > manage 3d settings > global settings tab > turn Vertical sync OFF > set Texture filtering Quality to HIGH PERFORMANCE > set Power Management Mode to Prefer max. performance > APPLY!
4> (not 100% sure if this helped towards the actual problem, but it certainly smoothed out a lot for me) in Nvidia CP, i changed the physx settings to my gpu. i then went to CP > My computer > properties > advanced system settings > advanced-tab > settings under "performance" > selected Adjust for best appearance, which changed all the themes etc.
and BAM! suddenly, my pc is like 10X faster when it comes to everything! gaming, youtubing, browsing etc. so now all is fluently nice!
problem 2:
simple solution; NVIDIA control panel - Adjust desktop color settings - Content type reported to the display -> Desktop programs.
that did the trick. really.
so yeah, thanks for leading me onto the right path and giving me ideas on what could be wrong, you all! much appreciated, ONCE AGAIN!
