    So i have had my W860CU for a couple of months now and everything is all fine and dandy.
    What bothers me is the lack of V-Sync when playing videos.
    It's noticable on the display as well as HDMI.
    I've been trying out different media players (such as vlc, mpc, wmp and so on) but nothing seems to change.

    I also use D3DOverrider for v-sync forcing. I've tried without and only with CCC but no change.
    It's driving me crazy because it makes watching movies unbearable. Games are fine though.

    Does anyone have the same issue and maybe a fix?
    I see now that i'm running 10.7 so i'll be upgrading those in a minute.

    Thanks for any help!

    Your CCC doesn't allow you to set V-Sync to "Always On"?

    If you are running more than one monitor, make sure that Aero is disabled, or that both screens are at the same refresh rate.
