The downloaded codecs do nothing for streaming. They use their own built in codecs in their app or something browser friendly like mp4 or webm. If downloaded content looks great, then you have answered your own question. The issue is in the streaming content not in the PC or TV.

Windows 10 and HDR10 HEVC problems
I'm trying to get the best that I can out of my Hisense H8G HDR10/Dolby Vision TV. I have great internet connection and all the proper plans for max quality streaming. Seems the only way I get what I consider amazing quality is from actual downloads. I've tried Prime, Netflix apps on Windows as well as using Edge. The device is hooked up via HDMI 2.0 enabled with HDR10 showing in the inputs confirmed in windows settings as well. Prime streaming seems the worst and I can manage to stream around 6-7 GB an hour. It just doesn't seem as good vs HDR disabled. I think tests show the display will go to around 750 or so nits but I watch in a dark room so I don't think brightness is an issue. I do have the official windows HEVC codec downloaded.
The problem is backgrounds, especially dark scenes seem blurry, pixelated. As far as advanced TV settings I've tried everything off and on to see about changes. So how do you know if its the TV vs Windows vs Source, etc? I won't to repeat that a 4K download looks flat out amazing. When I see dark blurry backgrounds the humans will looks amazing. A 720 high bitrate download will look better than a 1080 stream just for comparisons sake.
Any tips thanks in advance
