4K monitor showing pixels when widescreen

Captain · 14 Jun 2015 at 17:50

As title, if i watch 4K videos and make it full screen, it's not a clear picture, it's like it is stretched?

Anyone had an issue like this before?

I have a spare DP cable i will try.

The monitor is a Samsung U28D590.

cant say I have had a problem watching 4k youtube videos.

Which videos in particular, dare I ask ?

Nothing rude

Things like game trailers in 4K, movie trailers, Netflix in UHD is slightly blurry when made fullscreen.

Did try changing the video settings from performance to quality and still didn't help!

Tried a different DP cable and no difference!

Reset monitor to factory settings, re-installed Nvidia drivers and still happening in Chrome and FF.

Will try IE now with the updated Flash player.

Any better?

Nope

Don't know what's going on

Definitely not my connection so has to be hardware or software

Just watched this, made it widescreen and can see the pixels, almost like it's trying to stabilise the image.

Have you done a google search for "youtube videos pixelated"

A lot of threads appear.

I haven't but will search when I'm home, I'll record a video and try capture what I mean

That video is fine here at 3840 x 2160 in IE/Chrome using DP cable.

I have ordered myself a new cable just again, will see if this fixes it

Managed to take a video

52 seconds in is what i'm trying to explain! If you look closely at the woman's chin, you'll see the pixels.

That looks like compression artifacts, which you'll be getting on this sort of content. That isn't the monitor's fault.

Hmm, other people have posted it plays fine on their monitor, what else could it be?

I have ordered a Lindy's 1.2 DP Cable, coming tomorrow, just to rule out the cable.
