[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1222140, member: 82144"] Hello again Because you're not actually comparing [I]identical [/I]channels. The source content (eg. channel WABC) and resolution (1080i) are the same... but this says nothing about bit-rates/bandwidth and encoding (ie. MPEG 2 vs. h.264). Yes, there are. Bit-rate, encoding, deinterlacing algorithm, RGB levels, colour space/conversion... and the list goes on. If you're interested in getting the best possible picture quality from MediaPortal, my advice would be to take a look at your: [LIST] [*]GPU settings [*]video codec settings [*]refresh rate changing settings [/LIST] Perhaps worth a read: [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/guide-perfect-playback-display-calibration.119610/"]Guide: Perfect playback & Display calibration[/URL] P.S. I've assumed that your TV settings (dynamic contrast etc.) are already optimal. That's a huge assumption. There's a good chance it's not valid. However, since you're comparing 2 HDMI inputs on the same TV... [/QUOTE]
