Green lines messing up ALL video playback (windows 10)

[Superfly Original]

It wasnt my refresh rate, I have 60 Hz. I found that help on web. I made bold 29hz, because I can hardly believe it.

Hmm... so wouldnt it make sense for you to chose something higher like me? maybe 59 will work for you too.

"29 Hz interlaced" is short for 29.97 Hz interlaced. It's the standard for interlaced NTSC TV. All HDTVs sold in the USA must support this. If you have problems with "59" (really 59.94) Hz progressive it's because the TV can't handle it (it's not required, though most TV support it) or the cable doesn't have sufficient bandwidth.

still one little problem with the edges of the screen are not shown but its not a big deal

It's called overscan. It's a standard "feature" of all TVs. And most have a way of disabling it in their setup options. Each manufacturer gives it a different name, "pixel for pixel", "perfect scan", etc. Sometimes you need to select a particular name for the HDMI port, like "PC" or "Computer".

oh. can i seee the link? just curiouds how his is similar to mine or not?

PS: why dont you try 59hertz like me? you might fix it without lowering it all the way to 30hertz

No, it is capable for 60 hertz ON mine

Thanks Jagabo.
But I have no problem with Hz. I have a 60 hz and everything is perfect. I have found it on on web. Therefore web citation before it. It looks weird to me that someone can have monitor with 29i hz. I will found the link.

Like I said, 59.94 and 60 Hz progressive works fine on most TV. But not ALL.

Your link didn't work for me. But again, 29.97 Hz interlaced is the standard for NTSC television. Every TV supports it and many computer monitors too.

[Bernix]

sorry for badly posted link.
Answer microsoft if anybody is interested.

BTW, not all HDMI cables can handle the bandwidth required to support 59.94p or 60p. Especially if you are using a cable over ~10 feet long or a very old cable. And sometimes it's just a matter of a particular combination of source (computer), cable, and sink (TV).

The 59.94 Hz and 60 Hz settings for video graphics adapter output are a bit confusing.

According to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2006076 Windows 7 and later operating systems purposely force 59hz Hz if the user chooses 60 Hz but the monitor reports that it only supports 59.94 Hz. ...but if the monitor supports both 60 Hz and 59.94 Hz, Windows will use whatever the user selects (either 60Hz or 59Hz), allowing the refresh rate to be set to the one preferred for a given application.

Although 59/59.94 Hz would normally be preferred for media players, I'm not sure why green lines would have suddenly shown up two weeks ago if nothing has changed (the same OS, the same media player software, the same monitor and the same graphics adapter, etc.) and the media player software formerly provided a perfect picture. Maybe a Windows 10 update changed something?

Not sure but so far so good with no green lines. What im still interested in is what exactly causes the problem that I *had*

Update: I would just like to say, I found out my hard drive has been failing. I figured I would mention this as it may or may not have been related to this "green lines" issue.

[Superfly Original]

No.... no....................... No! the lines are back all of the sudden. Damn!!!!!!!!!

I'm sad
