GermanErnst Apr 3, 2018 5:55 PM (in response to Intel Corporation)Hi Antony.
TV is a 42 inch Philips LCD, model 42pfl3615/77 connected via HDMI.
Resolution has been always set to 1920x1080 and for refresh rates I've tried 59Hz and 60Hz. Intel HD Graphics Control Panel defaulted to 59Hz and I also tried 60Hz, with no better performance after the change.
Thanks!
German

GermanErnst Apr 4, 2018 7:08 PM (in response to Intel Corporation)Thanks Antony.
One additional detail, is that even when playing Netflix video on Chrome or Edge, the computer becomes excessively slow, and streaming video isn't smooth either.
Seems like an overall graphic performance issue that turns the Intel Stick unusable, since its main purpose is living room tv.
Regards,
German

This case is being escalated and under investigation. By the way, can you please share with us which videos or games are the ones that are giving you this problem? It would be very helpful as well if you can share a video when the issue occurs. And, if possible, can you test your Compute Stick with another TV or monitor? This will help us a lot in our research.

GermanErnst Apr 6, 2018 12:56 PM (in response to Intel Corporation)Thanks Antony.
Right now hit is happening with just any Netflix movie, both in Chrome and Edge browsers.
Overall performance drops terribly.
Already tested in second monitor, other HDMI input, no luck either.

Just to clarify, the monitor you tested, is it smaller than your Phillips TV? If so, can you please specify the inches of it?

13. Re: Cannot play smooth 1080p mkv on m3 stick STK2m3W64CC
GermanErnst Apr 8, 2018 8:19 AM (in response to Intel Corporation)I've tested on a different monitor, with 1360x768 resolution. Samsung SyncMaster TA350.
Played Netflix fullscreen and 1080 .mkv 11Gb x264 file with no issues. Of course, the video didn't played at 1080 but 768 since the monitor is not full HD.
The issue occurs when going to 1080 full HD resolution, the Stick just cannot handle it...
Since this system should be able to handle 4k video, I'm surprised to see that it can't even handle 1080 properly.
