Gurm I've been thinking about picking up a used Xbone for media/gaming but keep feeling discouraged everytime I see reports like this.
There is an upshot to all of this; as this issue is now ubiquitous on PC/Games Console/Smartphone then it's not tied to a particular manufacturer/driver, correct? Phones aren't using these types of chips at all but still induce strain. A software update causes it to go bad.
So essentially I think a new rendering technique has sneaked it's way into all devices, possibly in the wake of 4k/HDR to allow for more vibrant color. Dithering?
O/T slightly but I also notice now with media players (MPC-HC/Kodi) if I use the latest version it induces some strain. However if I use a circa 2010/2011 version it is fine. So regardless of drivers or OS these rendering techniques are creeping into software (like some here have difficulty with web browsers).
