slight blur on TV

jimbojumbo · **23rd February 2008, 12:08 PM**

Hi all,

I've had a new HTPC for a couple of months now (see sig) and am getting a slight (very slight) blur on action scenes on my NEC 68cm CRT.

I noticed it was really bad with Nvidia and PowerDVD 8 installed and with PowerDVD 7 seemed OK, but I can still just notice it.

Would an GPU upgrade from a silent 7300gt to a silent 8600gt make that much difference or am I looking at chasing down software solutions or indeed just accepting that it might just be me

try changing back to the microsoft decoder and see if it makes it better. I am using the latest cyberlink decoder now without any problems, but when I first tried it sport was very blury. Somehow wehn I changed back to Microsofte decoder then back to the cyberlink one everything was good.

I don't have the MS decoder.

Is this available on MCE2005, if so could you provide a link???

Go here: http://mediacenterexpert.blogspot.co...r-utility.html download and run from the desktop. It allows you to change the default decoder. MS decoder is built in to Vista.
