Optimize my computer for Porn?

Hey guys,

I love watching porn and want it to be as high quality as possible, but I know nothing about computers. Please help!

I just purchased a Lenovo desktop with Windows 10 and and an i7 processor. I also purchased a Samsung 27" Widescreen LED monitor 1020 x 1080. Both seemed to be very capable of doing what I need.

My old computer is from 2007 and runs vista with an HD monitor by Gateway, but it is on it's last leg.

I spent all this money thinking I was buying the best, but then I watched some "HD" videos off the web and was shocked to see that they were clearer on my OLD computer!

I figured out I needed to download some plugins, which did make it a bit better, but it still isn't QUITE the quality of the old computer. (Adobe Flash) I remember in the past some friends downloading some things on my old computer and they said it would make it work a lot better, but I have no idea what they were.

Where do I go to find a check list of the things I need to download to the new computer to get it working at optimal settings? I have played around with the monitor setting a good bit, but nothing so far has really helped. Plus I would assume that the factory settings make the monitor look the best possible?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
 
You say 1020 x 1080, but I guess you just typoed 1920 x 1080 which is HD like your old computer. I'm not super computer savvy so I probably can't help a great deal or diagnose the problem, but I have a few suggestions.

Have you checked that your new one is displaying the correct resolution? I don't have windows 10 so I'm not sure exactly how to find it, but it will probably be under display in the control panel, you can check the resolution to make sure it's not something lower. (I had a friend who monitor defaulted to 1366x768 or something even though it could do 1920x1080)

Checking the drivers of your graphics card are up to date might help too. Again I'm not familiar with Windows 10 so I can tell you how to do it, but I'm sure if you google it you should find better help.

If you are streaming the videos it might be a slow internet connection affecting the quality, or maybe the problem is the video itself.

Hope this helps, at least a bit.

EDIT:
I think T-Rexx is right, it seems more likely than anything I said.
 
I'm guessing that your old computer's monitor was smaller than 27".

"HD" is a loose definition. There are several different definitions of "HD," some of which are lower resolution than 1920 x 1080 pixels (which is the definition of 1080p video). 720p video, for example, is 1280 x 720 pixels, but it's still called "HD." If you play a 720p HD video on a 1920 x 1080 screen, you will still get a 1280 x 720 pixel video, just spread out over a wider screen area. For very large displays, the gap between the pixels starts to become noticeable to the human eye as "fuzziness." You did not notice this on the smaller Gateway because the pixels were crammed tighter together on the smaller screen.

My guess is that there is absolutely nothing wrong with your new computer. In fact, your new system's video is so good that it is highlighting the less-than-stellar quality of the videos you are watching. If you reduce the size of the display window of your media player, you should notice an increase in the sharpness of the display, albeit at the cost of a smaller display. Or you can just look for 1080p videos only - but that would probably limit the available subject matter.
 
Yeah, I agree with what's been said already. If the porn is not HD quality, it will looked blurry. A number of things affect the image quality of videos. These include format size (physical pixel size), the bit rate at which they're encoded, and whether they have audio or not amongst other things. These variations in all these and other factors make the trade off between file size, and clarity or quality of your viewing experience.
 
Is this question even serious? Things like that get asked if you want to play games or work with 3D.

Get VLC Player and a monitor with at least MVA/PVA panels or IPS, avoid TN panels.
 
So should I return the monitor for something smaller? My old monitor is the same size. :(
The rendering for video isn't controlled as much by the monitor as it is by the video card. Most of the video cards that Lenovo sells on the standard configuration for their desktops are pretty good.

If you're watching HD videos on the original site (e.g. watching Broke Straight Boys videos directly on brokestraightboys.com), you're getting the maximum quality. If you're watching an HD video on a streaming "tube" site, then you are getting compressed video that is lower quality.

The best test is to get a BluRay or high quality DVD and watch it on your monitor using different video players. If the quality is good and the action sequences seem smooth, then it's probably not related to your new hardware- the monitor or the video card. If the quality is bad, then you should consider upgrading the video card or the monitor.

And also- if you're watching porn on the internet, make sure you have good virus protection.
