Zig zag / staircasing pixels on all video playback :(

All of my video playback have a very annoying zig zag / staircasing pixel effect on the screen. It started suddenly and won't go away. I'm not super techie so please be gentle with me!
Thank you SO much in advance for any genius advice out there.

Hello there!
I'm finding the same issue. My VLC version is 3.0.3 VETINARI for Windows 10/64. The pc is an ASUS VivoMini UN65U-BM105M BGA 1356 2.40 GHz i3-7100U connected over HDMI to a DENON AVP-A1HD. The issue comes out opening blu ray folders stored on HD (media->open disk->blu ray). No problem for multichannel DTS HD MA; that issue on video is very annoying.
Many thanks.

I also found this, reverted back to 2.2.3, sadly I was enjoying the ability to cast to Chromecast, but have found an alternative, I play a lot of media from my HDD on win10-64 and the interface flexibility is far better on VLC that MPC (MPC does not have the problem that both releases of Vetinari suffered for me) plus been using VLC since its inception and have learnt so much that it would be hard to use another option.

Please try to disable hardware decoding. Is it better?

Yes, the issue seems to be fixed for my 1080p files that is the resolution of my old TV. Many thanks!

Can you share what driver you have, please?

I eventualy found the answer and you won't believe how simple and straightforward it is!
Open VLC and open Tools -> video effects -> essential -> uncheck the image adjust checkbox. DONE!
This worked perfectly for me!
