Question / Help Colored Text blurs on screen 1080p

[typeGaming]

I am streaming @ 1080p 30fps 3500bitrate (more info in log)

When streaming it looks pretty good for the most part but I noticed that font with color, specifically Red is coming out blurred, almost illegible.

Does anyone have any idea on why this would happen?

Image is of a two monitor set up, the left side is the Stream in 1080p right right side is the source and my actual browser. A close up is provided comparing the two as well.

This is due to the only YUV subsampling mode (properly) supported by Flash, which everything currently uses to play back streams. There's nothing that can be done about it at the moment.

Thanks for the quick reply, I appreciate it. At least I know there is nothing that I can do to better that.

Is it only with Red? other colors, yellow / grey / white seem less effected.

Edit,

00:25:54: Open Broadcaster Software v0.592b - 32bit (´・ω・｀)

I just noticed this, I have a 64bit Win7 OS. Does this matter? Should I be running the 64bit version of OBS if they have one?

 

[paibox]

It can be pretty noticeable with green as well, just not quite as bad as with red. The 64-bit version does offer a bit better performance (because of the 64-bit x264 encoder, mostly), but it's not that big a deal unless you are or are close to maxing out your CPU to begin with.
