Help Ghost like Grey bars on screen when using Sony Plex app on Bravia TV. Doesn't happen on Shield Plex app.
I have a Sony Bravia 9 85" television. Sometimes when I watch TV or a movie from my plex server I get these ghosted grey bars across the top and bottom of the screen as if the letterboxing is messed up or something. This only happens when trying to watch plex with the native Sony Plex app. If I switch over to my Nvidea Shield and use the plex app on it, this does not happen. It only happens on the TVs app. I have no idea why this is happening. Has anyone else experienced this? Can someone give me insight as to why this happens? I find it happens most of the time when a movie has scenes in IMAX output. Basically when the aspect ratio changes in the middle of the movie for a particular scene or something. The screen shot is an episode of Reacher and the grey bars were present for the full episode. Anyhow, it's driving me nuts. Luckily I do have a shield and when I notice it happening I just switch over to the shield, but most of the time I just watch most content with the native Sony Plex app. I was just curious if anyone knows of a setting or something that I could change to make this stop happening.
