I wasn’t really impressed with the quality of video on 19. I don’t remember so much digital noise in previous versions. I’m wondering if it is the newer drivers or the codecs they are using.

I am still waiting for my PowerDVD 20 Ultra to arrive in the mail, however on my old PowerDVD 19 Ultra I did not have any picture quality issues using a five year old 4K LG MU67 series computer monitor with HDCP 2.2.

Some movies with film grain can look like digital artifacts on certain displays and computer monitors. Try several different Blu-ray disc titles to make sure its not the movie. You can always uninstall and install the software on a second PC to see if you get better Blu-ray playback on a second PC.

After playing with all the settings and levels I finally found what the problem was. The player's contrast setting is too high by default (at least with my monitor). I toned it down a little in the NVIDIA settings for video players. Seems to have fixed it. I was adjusting everything but the basic settings. pretty silly.

but in my defense there are a lot of settings to play with between the monitor, the video player, and NVIDIA
