[QUOTE="George Hines, post: 1214689, member: 161106"] Thanks for the suggestion, but windowing mode didn't seem to be the problem. I read on another thread that Window's text magnification might be limiting the resolution to 720p. The text zoom on my pc was set by default to 150% (which actually looked quite nice). Resetting the zoom to 100% and rebooting seemed to fix the lack of 1080p. I was able to confirm that 1080p was now working properly by using cntrl-alt-F10. I think this was the primary cause of the poor video quality. Once that was working, I noticed lower resolution channels were still overly blocky. I discovered the default effects was set to sharpen(complex) - not sure if I may have accidentally set that. Disabling effects restored video quality to a more normal look. I still have some minor quibbles with the color, but that probably can be fixed as I mess with some of my driver settings. All in all, it is looking pretty good now, Thanks for the help! BTW: Is there a way to set *all* settings in MP2 back to their defaults without re-installing? [/QUOTE]
