Hi,
I'm using a Gateway FPD2485W 24" Monitor using a DVI connection.
I just bought an LG Blu-Ray/HD-DVD combo player.
I'm using CyberLink PowerDVD to watch HD films.
My problem is basically that when I watch films on my monitor (e.g. Tudors on Blu-Ray, or Heroes on HD-DVD) I can see a really distracting amount of graininess, some lag (most noticeable when the HD-DVD logo comes up) and blocky edges (similar to in games with no anti-aliasing on). This is compared to when I watch on my TV (50" 1080p Kuro, with toshiba EP-30 hd-dvd and pioneer LX70A BD player).
My question is, what causes this degradation in quality?
Is it:
My Monitor?
The software?
The graphics card?
The drive?
Generally speaking, is my monitor just fairly rubbish in terms of picture quality? (I didn't do any research when I bought it).
