Everyone who disagrees just doesn't have a new/ nice enough TV. It's the soap opera effect. There are ways to turn it down, but new TV's running at optimum look fake and feel like they are "on a set." I hate that too.

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.

exactly the description I was looking for

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.

You can turn this off on every tv that has it. It's probably called motion plus or something similar. Sometimes it means you have to switch the "mode" you are using. For a panasonic LED tv I just got I have to put it on game mode and it turns off the SOE.
