G73sw bad DVD/video playback quality

[Vicot]

Hi, new to the forums here. I recently got a g73sw and did a clean install right away. After watching a couple of videos and DVDs, I kept noticing a fuzzy, noise effect at all times. In darker areas, there would be blotches of black.

I was wondering if this is because of improper settings, or worse, the GPU. Currently using the 285.62 drivers for the 460M card.

this is because not good quality video. try downloading a video clip in youtube which is 1080p using youtube downloader. and watch it in full screen or try a bluray disc and update with results,

I've actually tried a blu-ray dvd and same thing. On youtube, it's less noticeable but there.

then try, reseting defaults in nvidia control centre and see if it helps.

I can't see the problem from your screenshots, but out of the box the blacks on my G73sw looked awful - similar to your description. It turned out it was a contrast issue. Go into the Nvidia control panel, pull up a picture that has this problem, and adjust the contrast/gamma until it's reduced.

EDIT: Default Nvidia settings only made it worse, in my case.

This is one of those questions that are not related to Asus but to your software installation.
What are you using to play the DVD?

CCCP and media player classic
