PC on LED TV - Refresh rate and quality of picture

[blazejp0]

Hey guys,
after doing some research I've successfuly connected my PC to my Samsung LED TV. It displays computer games perfectly. However, I'm having trouble getting it to work with movies.

At first when playing a movie (.mkv, .mp4 etc.) the picture was a bit choppy. I fixed this with setting my TV's refresh rate in NVIDIA Control Panel to 24Hz so it fits the video's frames per second. It plays smoothly now, however, setting my TV to any other refresh rate than 60Hz worsens the image drastically. The edges appear to be a little blurred and colors are off. My PC is connected to my TV via a short HDMI cable.

Any ideas how I could run my TV on 24Hz refresh rate without worsening video quality?

You don't want your TV to run at 24Hz, you want to figure out why your video isn't playing right at 60hz.

Can you try Disable Hardware Acceleration for your videos? What player are you using? Have you tried this on multiple players?

Thanks for your message, greens.

I'm using VLC to play my videos. Hardware Acceleration is off in player's settings. It's the same in other players as well.

I've also tried running my TV as the only monitor, switching to different resolutions and refresh rates (everything beside 1080p looks off), trying different HDMI slots, downloading K-Lite to test out DXVA turned on to see if there's any difference.

If a video is put on an USB stick and plugged into my TV, it plays perfectly. However, since most videos nowadays are coded with x265, my TV no longer supports it so I connected my TV to my PC so I could watch them.
