I recently installed the trial version just to see if it competes with Corel's player. I noticed on both the Leawo and PowerDVD 17 the quality of my Blu Rays when playing the DBZ discs the quality isn't as clear as when I play them on my standard BR player using TV. I was wondering if it could be because of it not being UHD and it being the trial version ? If anyone could clear up to why the quality isn't as good; that'd be fantastic !

Hello,
There is no video quality limitation in the trial version of PowerDVD. But if you are playing a UHD Blu-ray on a stand alone player, and Blu-ray with PowerDVD on your computer, of course the quality will be reduced. UHD has a resolution 2 to 4 times higher.

Oh I see. I'm not sure why but the picture is much more grainy/just not as clear than on my TV. I doubt the Blu Ray is UHD. I was told on the Blu Ray forum that it would be the application I was using if the quality isn't as good. I'm just a bit curious why the quality would be lower on my PC. I'm not sure if PC specs matter to a degree. My PC isn't thee greatest but definitely is mid tier lower top tier. Thanks for your reply Dave.

Hello,

It is not PowerDVD, it is more likely your PC, especially your graphics card. Makes all the difference. PowerDVD is capable of playing at the best resolution and picture, so if it is not, then it is your hardware.
