I remember when TVs advertised bs like “600 Hz clear motion rate”.
God I hated those smooth motion systems. Makes everything look like crap.
As someone who loves motion smoothing; I’ll never understand this opinion. It doesn’t make everything look like “crap”, it makes it look more realistic. Motion looks closer to real life. Hell, I like it for the fact that it removes motion blur alone. Can’t stand motion blur.
Trying to go back to watching films at 24Hz is nauseating for me (especially action movies with a lot of rapid camera momements). I can’t stand it. It’s like trying to go back to console gaming after getting used to 4K 144Hz PC gaming with a 4090.
Try leaving motion smoothing on for a week and then go back to having it off, and you’ll see what I mean. You get used to it, and then suddenly you don’t want to turn it off anymore.
I have had it on for a few hours at times and by looking like crap I would say it ruins the experience for me because it makes every scene and action look like a soap opera or a YouTube video and doesn’t feel like a film anymore and doesn’t carry the same weight. That’s just my opinion obviously. Could see certain scenes and movies working well with that but most I don’t want to feel like I’m on the set of a soap opera.
