Resolution & Refresh rate
Some time ago I purchased a MINIX Z83-4 mini computer which comes with Win 10 64bit preloaded, The reason I got this was that when viewing films via Kodi on an Android box the quality of the picture was never that good. I'm not talking about the colour or clarity, I'm referring more to the quality of the 'moving' picture. In other words, I seem to have ALWAYS had problems with a jerking/shaky/juddery picture particularly in long view when the camera is panning.
But even with the MINIX option now I am still having the same problem through Kodi via my TV. If I use my PC monitor the picture is rock solid and, as they say - "smooth as butter". This is set to 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz
So, I have tried many different "solutions" and none seem to have worked. The one area I have only spent a little time on though is settings related to screen resolution and refresh rate. The reason for that is that none of the information I have found so far seems to relate to my particular setup.
I have a Samsung 4k TV, though I don't think that matters too much one way or another. I 'think' the real issue here is: SETTINGS.
If I go with the Windows 10 'recommended' settings based on the graphics card in the Neo, and my TV which is currently set to 3840 x 2160 @ 29Hz the picture is jerky as said above. If however I try to set it to 50Hz or 60Hz the nearest I can get is:
1920 x 1080 @50/60Hz
3840 x 2160 @30Hz
4096 x 2160 @24Hz
The problem here is, if I choose any of the above either the picture quality suffers or the graphics (text etc) distort.
There doesn't seem to be a happy medium where I can get 4096 x 2160 @ 50/60Hz
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
