I have a Thinkpad that came with i7-6700HQ CPU. I wanted to take advantage of the hardware decoding feature on skylake. I use PotPlayer as my primary video player to play videos. Whenever I use software decoding, videos play without any visual artifact. If I turn on hardware decoding, I start seeing a staircase as can be seen on the image below. Is this a driver issue? Can anyone confirm it?
Some info on the video I was playing:
Format : HEVC
Format/Info : High Efficiency Video Coding
Format profile : Main@L4@Main
Codec ID : V_MPEGH/ISO/HEVC
Width : 1 920 pixels
Height : 1 080 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 16:9
Frame rate mode : Variable
Original frame rate : 23.976 FPS
Color space : YUV
Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0
Bit depth : 8 bits

This is not going to solve installing / re-installing graphics driver. This is a BUG of all recent graphics driver related to video post-processing "enhancements".
Is addressed by disabling ALL image enhancements in Graphics Settings > Video (contrast enhancement, etc.) Set ALL (basic and advanced) properties to DISABLED or APPLICATION CONTROLLED.
Some settings are re-enabled by default when a driver is updated or reinstalled (another bug).

I bought a new SSD today and I installed Windows 10 on it. I checked Lenovo's website and downloaded the latest video drivers for my Thinkpad P50. Surprisingly, the staircases have vanished. I really don't know whether it was a drivers issue or OS issue. I'm just happy it's gone.

Google search reveals it's not a "single case" issue.
