Everyone who disagrees just doesn't have a new/ nice enough TV.
Or people who disagree are knowledgeable enough to know that the effect you speak of has absolutely nothing to do with HD. It's due to LCD/LED tvs trying to run at frame rates that aren't capable without image smoothing.

3D may be overrated by HD isn't!

That's exactly what it feels like to me. I can tell almost exactly where all the lights are in any given scene.

Watched Alien and Aliens on a tv that had too fast a refresh rate and it made it seem super fake. Impossible to submerge yourself in the movie and just ruined it

Yes, sports its totally worth it, but I really feel like putting it to TV and film makes it look like I'm still in the editing room, to where I often just want to watch it in lesser quality. The more realistic it looks, the more staged it looks to me. Anyone else feel the same way?
I've been using this site since 2005, and I've read some crazy shite here...but this really takes the cake. CONGRATS!

Most TVs have the option to turn that effect off. It's called trumotion on LG tvs and auto motion plus on Samsung's. You should be able to turn it off pretty easily in the display options menu.

It's the soap opera effect.
ETA: didn't know that was the term for it. That's pretty shitty, but hilarious that "superior technology" has actually produced video quality that's comparable to bargain basement, daytime TV standards.
Way to go, geniuses. Now you can get back to designing more effective boner pills.

I agree with cgs things often look really fake
cgi mixed with live action can really look bad with the added clarity. movies like transformers lose a LOT when you go from theaters to super crisp HD tvs at home

Dude HD is the real deal

Just you.

Trying to watch an old grainy youtube clip of football from the early 00s versus HD night games and watching the first few seasons of the Simpsons/Family guy is night and day difference

Is this a serious thread?
Posted on 10/7/12 at 9:50 pm to OMLandshark
Agreed. HD sucks.

If so, much fail.
Color film sucks!
