I play video all the time and several years ago used a "home theater pc" to bump up all the cable channels to 1080P and never had any display issues. I had the video and the browser set to not cache or save anything so little memory was sued and nothing was saved to disk. Some searching found these things:
1. Are you using Firefox to watch Netflix? Go into about
:config and change CGDisableCoalescedUpdates to False.
Otherwise, if you're watching Netflix at a different resolution than your Desktop resolution, do the following:
1. Open nVidia's control panel
2. Expand Display and go to Adjust desktop size and position
3. Change "When a resolution lower than my display's native resolution..." to "Use NVIDIA scaling with fixed aspect ratio"
Another post had this from the forum:
