  • Are you watching it at full size or is it being scaled by the player? If it is being scaled, then you should determine which scaling algorithm (bilinear, bicubic, lanczos, etc) is being used by each player, or just try changing it in VLC if possible.

I did the following and it helped:

Go to Tools -> Preferences -> Show settings: All -> Video -> Output modules -> OpenGL

There set OpenGL extension to GLX and Open GL/GLES hardware to VA-API ... for X11 (as in my case I'm still using X11). Restart the player to see the effect!
