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.

Nothing rude

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

What web browser are you using? Have you tried using another?

Captain · 14 Jun 2015 at 21:26

Chrome but happens the same when using FF too.

You've not changed any of the video settings in Control Panel have you ?

Captain · 15 Jun 2015 at 10:20

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

Captain · 16 Jun 2015 at 14:38

Tried a different DP cable and no difference!

If i was having that issue first thing id do is make sure the monitor is set to scale correctly in the control panel and on the monitor.

If that didn't work then maybe flash is doing it? try using the dreaded IE after installing the latest flash version for it.

Try reinstalling the drivers with a clean install, check the monitor image size settings in monitor setup. You could always reset the monitor to factory settings.

Captain · 16 Jun 2015 at 23:45

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.

Nope

Don't know what's going on

I have the same monitor,only had it a week, am using a 750 ti till my new card arrives,I havent noticed the problem your having, have you got a link to what your trying to watch?

Captain · 19 Jun 2015 at 12:55

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

The picture is fine for me no pixels or stretched,am using
Firefox with the DP cable that came with the monitor @ 3840 x 2160.
When that vid is in full screen, there are 2 black bars either said of the video about an inch either side but assume thats just the res of the video.
Sorry i couldn't help,all i can suggest is what others here have said about checking cable,try diff browser ect, gl anyway

A lot of threads appear.
