External Monitor Preview Looks AWFUL (Pixellated and Blocky)

[Jim Greene]

Dredging this up a bit…

I have SVP10 on Win7 with NVIDIA GTX570 and two monitors. When I make the preview on the 2nd monitor to fill the screen, it actually looks worse than full-screen as secondary monitor output (not much worse, almost the same actually). So I don’t think this is a Vegas Pro issue at all, but something to do with your computer setup. I use Preview Quality of “Good (Full)” and the secondary output looks great.

As for saying that the render visual is all that matters and not the preview during the editing, well I just don’t understand that thought process. I need to see my clips in their best output while editing so I can determine focus, exposure, color, etc. Why would I be content with a preview image that doesn’t look like the final render?
