Greg,

Those are the settings I'm using and for most things it's fine. There are
some scenes like a headshot  where the guy shakes his head and it looks
like some frames were skipped. Minor annoyances. I have test watched an NHL
hockey game recently and it was not bad, but after a few minutes I
switched back to my Shield TV to watch it remotely from the RPI4 backend.
