MadVR exlusive mode blackblinking and glitches and washed out color no brightnes

Do you buy mostly used things and have no bad experiences so processors and such too or just gpu? Lg c1 65" is 1500 dollar her in Norway. as for a amd build pc. I have a not that old pc with am4 i7 2700x 16 ram. I used the gpu in this pc and this too had the same problem, black blinking glitching..and so on.. Tried this before I bought the 3070 ti which I am delivering back.
This is the strangest thing I ever experienced. on both pc? So new pc is probably waist of money since it looks to be a high chance that I end up with the same situation.
Maybe it could be the TV being maybe the first versions. I dont know what to think anymore.

I'm 50/50 used vs new. It really depends. Enterprise grade stuff? Never new if you can avoid it. You can get incredible deals there and in general, the likelihood that the gear was treated decently is higher, plus the durability is typically better regardless.
HDDs and SSDs? New almost always. Cache SSDs are an exception since you can grab things like fusion IO drives with absurd TBW ratings for very little and anything in your cache shouldn't be considered 'permeant' or that you wouldn't mind losing anyways.
Consumer PC components? I'm split on. Sometimes I'll buy used, sometimes new. Just depends. If it's for my primary workstation, chances are I'm buying the mobo, processor, ram and PSU new. GPU, I could go either way since the savings can be significant. If it's just a random project build to try something new out or because I'm bored? I'll probably go used, either buying parts or harvesting them from already built machines that owners are selling (easier to make sure things work and typically they're less informed so you can get the price you want)
AMD 2700x is a fine processor but quite outdated now. In *theory* if your motherboard isn't crap, it should be able to handle most if not all the current AM4 processors, it's a cheap drop in replacement depending on sales around you. The clock speed and core count isn't the only factor, over its lifetime Ryzen has had some pretty significant IPC improvements. 16GB of RAM is fine for gaming, or desktop use, or playback but it's not *great* for demanding multitasking (as in running a game, a browser, and then maybe a video playing through a high quality renderer like madvr or JRVR), 32GB is my recommended minimum in a computer you care about and use frequently. 64GB for production / content creation work. 128GB+ for servers or high end content creation.
I have no idea what the problem is with your systems but something is wrong since you've seemed to try everything. Guess it might be the display. I dunno man. I hope you've at least learned something about video playback / presentation!

Thank You for all the help, eve.

Yes I have learned a lot. Sadly mostly using madvr which is going to be obsolete soon. I have had best motion with madvr.
There is a scene in Alien which I test motion and that scene is when ship panning over the the upper screen filmed from underneath the ship as it flies over the screen with the white clouds behind it, just seconds before they land (the scene is only 3 seconds long from exactly 31 min and 38 sec to 41 sec.) . it is just a few seconds. and the ship is changing its image and get a bit streatched mostly at the end of the short scene as it pans out of the left of the screen. only madvr has managed to view the ship in uniform image and not being stretched out as it flies over the screen.
Also I have found out that skipping hdr mode and just use pixel shader produces less artifacts. brightness is ok but not as bright as hdr but more than good enough.
I am of course going to follow JRVR to see if motion gets better on my system. It is probably perfect for other users. It could be my system that is the problem, but madvr fixes it and so could JRVR be doing when it get better and better and it is really good now. Hope it will be even tighter when it comes to motion in difficult scenes like described above.

Yeah I'm stuck in a weird position with MadVR. It handles some things better than the successors right now but the lack of cross platform support is just.... Frustrating. Proper HDR video playback on mainstream linux distros is on it's way, so that's another barrier removed. I'd love to be able to ditch Windows for the theater, move over to AVB audio (Windows support for AVB isn't.... ideal) , and call it a day. Also MadVR probably *wont* support Dolby Vision and that's a pretty major problem. FEL is it's own issue but even the lesser DV profiles are becoming extremely commonplace on streaming services, in some cases being the highest 'profile' encode on a service, providing better quality / bitrate than the other streams available to client devices. In other words, you'd might have to accept a lower bitrate HDR 2160p stream if you wanted to use MadVR.
I use JRVR all day at my desk, it has almost 0 processing hit meaning I can game or work on content creation stuff without being overtly concerned about performance. I do HDR> SDR when I'm at my desk doing other stuff, since you pretty much never want to use Windows itself in HDR mode. It looks perfectly acceptable.
