[QUOTE="Sohail Juna, post: 1016185, member: 131560"] Hi all, I have just setup a new and working HTPC with MediaPortal to playback sat tv (DVBS2), MKVs and Blu Ray discs. I am going direct from my PC over HDMI to my TV. All is working fine - but the output quality I am getting on my TV is quite pixelated and grainy, and with some washed out colours. I have tried (and tried): tweaking the LAV codec settings - changing deinterlacing and hardware accelerator settings Purchasing the CoreAVC Pro codec (same thing) Purchasing a dedicated GPU (Radeon HD 7770) instead of my on board Intel 4600 Graphics (not much better) [B]I am looking for an expert to help tweak my settings to get it as good as it can get - happy to pay someone for their time.[/B] Anyone? Just in case my specs aren't easily visible below: [B]My System[/B] HARDWARE CASE: [URL='http://www.lian-li.com/en/dt_portfolio/pc-v351/']Lian Li V351 (Black) Case[/URL] PSU: [URL='http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/components-upgrades/processors-motherboards/processors/atrix-expert-ax-550exb-atx-psu-550-w-19070980-pdt.html']ATRIX Expert AX-550EXB ATX PSU - 550 W[/URL] MOTHERBOARD: [URL='http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/motherboards/intel1150b85chipset/microatxformfactor/ga-b85m-hd3.html']GIGABYTE GA-B85M-HD3[/URL] CPU: [URL='http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/processors/intel4thgencorei3i5andi71150socket/bx80646i54570.html']4th Generation Intel® Core™ i5 4570 3.20GHz Socket LGA1150[/URL] RAM: [URL='http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/memory-pc/ddr3-pc3-106661333mhz/ram-313334.html']4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz[/URL] GPU: [URL='http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/amdradeongraphicscards/amdhd7770series/r7770-pmd1gd5.html']MSI AMD Radeon HD 7770 1GB GDDR5[/URL] TUNER: [URL='http://www.tbsdtv.com/products/tbs6985-dvb-s2-quad-tuner-pcie-card.html']TBS6985 DVB-S2 Quad Tuner PCIe Card[/URL] HDD1 (OS): [URL='http://ocz.com/consumer/agility-3-sata-3-ssd']OCZ 60GB Agility 3 SSD Solid State Drive[/URL] HDD2 (DATA): [URL='http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/harddrives-internal/sata3tbto4tb/0s03356.html']Hitachi Deskstar 7K4000 4TB 64MB Cache Hard Drive[/URL] BLU-RAY: [URL='http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/opticaldrives/bluray/ihos104-06.html']LiteOn IHOS104[/URL] TV: [URL='http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/tv-audio-video/television/lcd-tv/LE40D503F7WXXU']Samsung LE40D503 40" LCD TV[/URL] Thanks!
