Screen Tear 4k TV running at 1080p 60Hz

[RenegadePC]

bought a Polaroid 4K tv a while ago. Graphics card does not support 4k so its running at 1080p 60hz at the moment.

While watching videos the screen tears pretty badly. Ive tried enabling V-sync via the nvidia control panel but that did nothing.

not sure what to do. All help is appreciated

Your problem is with your TV..... settings need to be changed.

Would you be able to give me an example? No idea what to look for

 

[Danny_112]

Look for a "game" mode, refresh rate, disable "special" effects,
if you look at the user guide of your tv, you should find it.

Do you have the model name / # of your tv ?
I'll go download the user manual and look into it for you.
Do the same at your end.

Also what kind and model of graphic card , do you have ?
Answer today, and i'll have time to look into it.

Later

Danny.

Its a Polaroid PU-5516UHD. Thanks a lot. I'll also download the manual and read into it like you said.The Graphics card is A GTS 450. Old I know. Thanks again - Josh

Your graphic card need's to be changed, wait for prices to come down, and
buy yourself a NVidia 1070... or an AMD RX 580.

Make sure the rest of your computer can supply the performance and power needed.


When you get tearing , what's your frame rate ?

So the graphics card is causing the tearing directly or is it the frame rate as the card cant keep up? As for what the frame rate is I wouldnt know. The tearing happens when watching movies and such so I'm sure the frame's will be over 60 anyway.

 

[Danny_112]

It's a question of sync, what you experience is most likely caused by a mismatch of
refresh rates between your TV and your videocard.

I looked for the manual of your tv, and could not find it ?
Give me a link, so I can download it.

A normal NTSC signal is 29.97 frames/s,
PAL, is encoded at 25 frames/s

are your movies encoded in PAL ?

I'll check back later Sunday....
