My 3070 arrived today, one man reason for buying it was to watch TV from the PC without constantly switching to my LG 65 C10 direct. The picture on the TV itself is amazing when watching something like the Mandalorian, when watching from a browser on the pc it's awful, pixelated and artefacts.

I'm using a fully supported 2.1 HDMI cable (8k) from my 3070 to the LG TV.
Latest NVidia drivers installed
Both Netflix and Disney are the same

Is this Dolby vision or HDR related? Anyone using Windows 10 to view Netflix on a 4k tv?
 
Is full range RGB setup properly in the control panel and TV OSD?

Unfortunately Netflix and Disney (and many other streaming sites) is a bit of a mess when it comes to UHD/4K on PC and in many cases will only stream a so-so bitrate "HD" at best and/or requires a very specific setup of OS, browser, etc. to get it to work - which is absolutely ridiculous in this day and age.

HDR is also a pain to get properly setup on Windows and will often end up looking blocky and pixelated.

Now tried chrome, edge and Netflix app. It seems to be much worse on any dark scene, it's bad banding/blooming?

I had an issue with 4k/120hz with HDR on with my C9 and 3090.

I solved it by simply using another HDMI port on the TV, even though they are all full speed 48Gbps sockets.

HDMI 1 was the issue. I use HDMI 4 now.

Also ensure your black levels in in the Nvidia control panel match the TVs, and make sure you are using the PC resolution in the Nvidia control panel.
 
Additionally - You will get a much better image on Disney+ using the native apps on the TV, so I would just do that...

Disney+ via chrome doesn't support HDR as far as I know.

Apparently MS Chrome works better, but this is based on information from late 2020
 
Why aren't you using native apps?

Or get a Nvidia shield.

I believe it may be a windows issue. Where it cannot do HDR properly. I know nvenc has transcoding issues where it cannot transcode 10 bit without messing it up.

I've had a lot of issues with 10 bit files on my unraid server using any Nvidia GPU. And Nvidia are much better than AMD for transcoding 4k but HDR is the issue here.
