Black screen lag

FlyingPig · 7 Sep 2011 at 15:10

I have an annoyance and I'm not sure how to describe it and whether it can be remedied (never mind which section of the forum to place this in). Every time I maximize a Youtube video or any type of video such as a DVD on VLC media player, it takes several second for this process to be completed. The result is a completely black screen for 1 or 2 seconds. This is on a new high-end gaming rig so lack of performance is not the issue. I've never had this issue before in Windows or on Mac. Any idea what could be causing this?

Thinking outside the box here, are you using an LED screen?

Yes, the Hanns G 28" one.

Dynamic contrast gone wrong? That monitor isn't LED backlit but the first port of call would be to disable dynamic contrast if it is enabled.

As far as I know Dynamic contrast is disabled. That is, if the setting "X Contrast = OFF" in the clumsy Hanns G options is what that means (can't see anything else).
