I won’t be flying to my mother’s house, where she watches Newsmax on her Roku because Fox is “too liberal.” She’d know it was me and get someone to fix it anyway.
Look up Consumer Reports TV Screen Optimizer for optimal settings for your make and model. (You can likely access the Consumer Reports website via your public library)
I was so excited to see this, but it looks like Consumer Reports has blocked this for library users to save it for paid subscribers. Thank you for sharing it, though!
sweet. i instinctively turned it on when i first set up my tele but i did not really know what it was. the way it looked for a couple series on which i tested it seemed to validate my assumption. thanks!
Just imagine that you have a 120 Hz TV. Now say you're watching a movie that is, like most movies, filmed at 24 Hz. Motion smoothing in this case interpolates almost 100 frames per second, which means that 75% of the frames *are completely artificial*. How is that not ridiculous?
TVs have ads and spyware? I have an LG that's about ten years old and I think I just plugged it in and then the Bell guy connected it up to the Bell box thingy to make it work.
Yeah, it’s the reason TVs are so cheap these days; they track your viewing habits, sell your data, show ads for various apps and streaming services, and even have their own “free” channels with tons of ads. You can opt out, but they don’t make it obvious or easy.
It seems some people prefer that for sports, where it’s less egregious, but I never watch sports. And it makes everything else look terrible. AND IT’S TURNED ON BY DEFAULT. 😑
Most TV uses 30 pictures per second, this creates additional synthetic pictures (bump to 60 Hz) that's a blend of the former and next pic to make motion less "jumpy", but it only works well on certain stuff like slow moving live TV but it's bad with most processed video (movies)
