CNet review: "subpar video processing"? Have any of you experienced problems along these lines?

I have the 606. I have my Blu Ray on Through, and I see no degradation of the signal. This is one incredible receiver. I recommend it highly.

Poorly. The video playback, while functional, is not smooth or without jitter. The Android driver for the on-CPU video chip is not currently accelerated, like it is in Android devices from top-tier manufacturers.

Just turn off the Tru-Motion setting. I agree it looks horrible and I don't understand why it is the default. Maybe it is nice for sports and games, but for movies it immediately cuts about 40 million from the production value.

The switching between video was fine....no problems at all there. Audio is another story. The audio cuts out and I never did find a concrete way to get it to come back on reliably. I eventually just stopped using the box. Its a paper weight now unfortunately.

I have been building systems for years. I had a spare Quad Core 2.5 with 4GB of RAM so I built it up as a 'proof of concept' test system. I was able to get everything installed and configured but the performance was terrible--even with a single channel. The images were badly pixelated and unwatchable. I ended up building a new i5 system with 16GB of RAM and it could not be better. I was able to view and record all 6 channels at once without glitches. So, IMHO, processor performance is a critical factor here.

Thanks for replying Steven. The edge issues I was mentioning were on the edges of moving objects, not the edges of the picture, I should have been more specific (although when I played around with picture size I saw what you meant, good to know if I run into that problem in the future). I do think you were right that part of the problem was tiling, I think something was going on with my cable feed, perhaps from the storms in the area after the new TV was delivered??? The picture is looking better these days.

I have the same experience. I believe it is caused by lossy compression. To claim that the video captured by the sensor is 1080p is a bit misleading, because this pixelization effectively reduces the resolution. It could potentially be fixed with better firmware, but I am not holding my breath waiting for BlackVue. There is a custom firmware produced by Russian dashcam enthusiasts that is intended to use better compression (I think), but I haven't tried it.

Sorry, I do most gaming from a console, My media PC has a wireless Keyboard & trkball. Not too good for gaming.I have ran MKV Vids through the 3D converter & found no detectable lag or artifacting. Dunno if that helps but its the best I can offer. Never thought to convert a Vid Game, I might try that if I get the time & update this answer.I have an intermediate level NVidia adapter - don't remember the model but it was bout $80 3 years ago, so it's no Cadillac,Good for most MMedia, not great for gaming)

No, I found the video to be awful. We tested in various lighting conditions and with different settings, and it was always grainy and jerky.

Have you tried any older systems to see if they look okay/have lag?Anyway, thanks for the info! I may have to go for this, although I'm a bit nervous not being able to return it if there are dead pixels or whatever.

I bought one, never worked in 1080p, 720p. Also had several dead green pixles so I returned it and the second one was worse. Consider another one.

I did play a game through the 360 game system and did not see any lag or skipping of the video. Everything appeared to be normal. (I guess the fps that your talking about is the frames per second.)

I am very underwhelmed with the web cam in the ASUS UL30A-X5. Its low quality, low res. does ok in low light. Always has a lag of about 2-3 seconds. If the integrated webcam is a selling point for you then look elsewhere. If you can get past these downfalls, you will love the X5 (like I do).

I can imagine, you do feel a bit traumatized by all that NTSC 240 interlaced content out there. There are no miracles. No water from a stone. That said, you can get progressive scan 4x3 or 10x9 from your source--so the better the source the cleaner the up-scanned content. So if your content is widescreen and fair 480p--you'll be happy, and if it happens to be in "full-screen" (don't start me on lies like that one) for the older NTSC sets, it can still look amazing ala Ren and Stimpy or Looney Tunes or sure--Tombstone (depending on your source.) The better the input, the better the output--including on HD Source where I see a marked difference. It deals pretty well with those darned compression artifacts. AT 82" you'd notice. I have them on Plasma, LCD, and an SXRD--and am really pleased with the way they work. Your mileage may vary. Grin.

I just spoke with a representative at Midland. I am using a 64GB card and have not had any problems yet. She told me that if I ever have a problem with the video freezing or being "choppy", try reducing down from a 64GB to a 32GB. This will obviously give you less record time but should solve any problems

It's funny... I had the same concerns. But there is a new driver that fixed a big portion of that. But truthfully... The tablet draws fine. Most of the jitter I saw on the YouTube demos was due to pulling lines in their software incorrectly. I put out a Web comic each week, and have no problems. Feel free to check out the lines if you're curious. 1d4Rounds.com And contact us on there with any questions... Im happy to answer any questions I can.

I had a similar experience which I stated in my review a while ago. It looks like this card is somehow limited to low frame rates at 1080p with major problems @60Hz.
