I normally run XMBC fullscreen on my second monitor a Samsung 40" LCD, connected via component, running 720p.

The vsync/tearing issue has been driving me nuts! I finally found the setting combination in ATI control panel and XMBC that gives me smooth playback.

PC settings (Catalyst 9.2):
- Set second monitor (HDTV) as primary monitor!
- Clone the HDTV (now the primary monitor) with PC monitor. Effectivly having the PC monitor as the secondary monitor. This does not matter for useability tho since they are cloned
- Set Wait for VSYNC = Always ON

XMBC (latest Babylon build):
- Apperance - Screen - VSYNC = Let driver decide

you do know that the drivers have been updated since 9.2, you tried 9.4

oh? I thought 9.3 was the latest, and when I tried that it didn't work. You saying 9.4 solves this?
