motion interpolation is the dumbest thing and it confuses me that it's the default on most TV's

why yes i would like this movie to look more like a 1980's episode of General Hospital

it's purely because people in the store will look at one TV with interpolation turned on and the other natively showing a 24 FPS movie, and go "wow, this one is so much smoother!!!"

Cinema is garbage that's the whole point, movies that depend on lovely frame rates and extreme darkness to suspend your disbelief probably wasn't worth watching in the first place

Motion interpolation is literally the same algorithm used for modern video compression but in reverse, looking at the motion vectors and building extra intermediate frames from them. It is hella high tech and only a luddite movie nerd would dislike it while fondling their plasma TV or CRT projector that is killing their wifi network with RF noise.

Same with video calibration. Use a setting you like, not what some "expert" told you to that makes you unable to see anything unless you live in a cave

Here's a question, why do TV's and monitors need to be calibrated by the user to get the "Best picture", often with devices you attach to the screen? Why not just ship them with that as default? Is it a matter of opinion or some poo poo?

The answer is actually even simpler than that. In a Best Buy showroom (or wherever), under the poo poo florescent lights, vibrant colors and extreme brightness are more attractive, but look like poo poo in your living room. So they set the default to that, as their number 1 concern (understandably) is getting the TV in your house.

also calibration is a panel by panel thing and cutting cost corners is very attractive. good displays come precalibrated tho like the current dell hotness

it's amazing to me that no manufacturer has figured out that there is a market for dumb high end tvs. I don't even want speakers in mine, I have a receiver for that.

there is, they're called broadcast monitors

The man from the future is going to watch the movie in fully immersed 3D VR because his computer built a 3d model of the movie scene by extrapolating object positions over time in relation to the camera movements :colbert:

all your old-rear end plasmas are probably at 40% of their original brightness and everything looks hella green but you're all stockholm syndromed

if you don't run it in vivid mode (most people do) its not really a problem


generally speaking not running your tv at super high brightness is good for both picture and longevity

i have a 40" samsung lcd that is ccfl backlit. it will play dlna servers or from usb, which is as smart as a tv needs to be. it has lots of hdmi inputs and three analog inputs for all my legacy game consoles. the panel can be a little blurry at times but not enough to be an issue.


i'd like an oled but i barely use this set so when spend the money?

oh yeah, this is the other reason I bought the tv i have, it does 24hz.


the only device that ever supplied 24hz was my old wdtv, nothing new does that. maybe bluray players, but lol if u think i will bother with a spinny disc
