[QUOTE="wiyosaya, post: 1106378, member: 145864"] I was playing back the Blu-ray of [I]The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug[/I], and I was having problems with color bands across the entire screen (the movie is apparently 21:9, and only fills part of a 16:9 screen, yet the color bands were extending across my entire screen) as if there was some sort of video compression problems that affected the entire video signal.
