He is absolutely right. The soap opera effect totally ruins the look of most movies. I still use a good old 1080p plasma on default. It always looks good




Drives me insane when people say they can't tell the difference while watching with motion smoothing on. I feel for the filmmakers.

The soap opera effect drives me nuts. I just about can't watch something when it's on. It makes a multimillion dollar movie look like it was slapped together in an afternoon.

I watched the most recent avatar and it was some HDR variant that had this effect turned up. It definitely dampens the experience. There’s something about that slightly fuzzed movement that just makes things on screen look better

from what I heard, the actions scenes are shot in 48 fps and others are in 24 fps or something along those lines. You might be talking about that ?

It's funny, people complain about this but I actually like smooth panning scenes over juddery ones that give me a headache trying to watch them. I go so far as to use software on my computer called SVP 4 that does this but in a way better GPU accelerated implementation. I'm never sure why people think smoothness means cheapness except that they were conditioned to it.

My parents’ new TV adds a Snapchat like filter to everything. Made Glenn Close look young instead of the old woman she’s supposed to be in Knives Out.

Turning it off was shocking. So much better. And it was buried several levels deep in a weirdly named setting.


Nope, nope, I can't watch 24-30hz without my eyes bleeding during camera pans.
