Video choppy durring panning scenes
by Red Squirrel from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5T234)
Honestly not sure if this is new or I just started to notice it but I cannot unnoticed it anymore and it actually makes me a bit nauseous.
Basically any time I'm watching a video and there's a panning scene or even just something moving, it "chops" there instead of doing a smooth transition. It's almost like stop motion.
Is there any way to fix this? My monitor only supports 60hz, could that be part of the issue? They are 4k Asus Tuff Gaming monitors. Does it on both so that rules out a cable or port or monitor issue.
Os is Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon.
I have Hardware acceleration turned on in FF. Turning it off comes with other issues, such as not being able to play much if any 4k content. Even now some 4k content won't play as it will basically be like a power point presentation. Kinda sucks having a decent machine but being software limited. Is there a way to make this better? Here's some info that might help:
