topic Very poor DVD playback on Vaio-S3XP in PCs & Accessories https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/very-poor-dvd-playback-on-vaio-s3xp/m-p/156984#M107143 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>When trying to watch DVDs on my new S3XP the quality is extremly poor. Bright areas gets blocky and blinks, the colors seems to be quantified. For example instead of a smooth transition between black and white you see a number of strips.<BR /><BR />I have tried with several DVDs with same result. The settings is to use both Playback and color HW acceleration and the general display settings is to use maximum HW acceleration.<BR /><BR />I have tried both WinDVD and the Windows Player with the same result so this seems to be a HW/Driver issue?<BR /><BR />Any ideas?<BR /><BR />Rgds<BR />Johan<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 06 Jul 2005 12:28:52 GMT ljp 2005-07-06T12:28:52Z Very poor DVD playback on Vaio-S3XP https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/very-poor-dvd-playback-on-vaio-s3xp/m-p/156984#M107143 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>When trying to watch DVDs on my new S3XP the quality is extremly poor.
