Does anybody have any idea what this post is about?
Motion smoothing, frame interpolation features in TVs. It's what makes movement look unnatural and on default TV settings. Old people can't tell/don't understand so it's customary to sneakily disable it for them when visiting
I think it's the frame interpolation feature that a lot of TVs have.
It’s a terrible effect, and people who don’t spend much time in their TV’s setup may not know or think to turn it off - or they delude themselves into thinking they like the effect.
If you're watching a tv and the frame rate hitches all over the place every few seconds then one of these stupid fucking settings is on.
The shit wouldn't be so fucking awful if it could actually maintain a stable frame rate but it can't. None of them can.
Yes. Motion smoothing. It's like kerning or the Wilhelm scream. Once you notice it, you'll hate it.
It makes the slow panning forests and splashy paint videos in Currys look nice, but it makes movies and TV shows look terrible.
Eh, I've been adding it on purpose to technical and astronomy documentations during transcoding for my library. 23.whatever fps NTSC pulldown is just choppy.
Yeah, the way I see it if what you're looking at is real, it might look alright. Sport, etc.
For anything with special effects, it looks like unfinished behind the scenes footage. I saw The Hobbit in high frame rate and 3D, and let me tell you, it just looked like Martin Freeman in rubber feet. Although in fairness the whole film was gash even in standard 24 fps.
Yes
