Motion smoothing

Just thought I would make a public service announcement...
Most modern TVs have some kind of built-in motion smoothing effect. Different manufacturers all have different names for it. It could be motion smoothing or frame interpolation or something else. Unless you only watch sports, you need to find it in your settings and turn that crap off.
It it typically default to "ON" and most people don't even know about it.
The motion smoothing works by inserting artificial frames to help smooth out pans and fast action...but the result on the slower moving scenes can make a cinematic masterpiece look like a daytime soap opera. Almost every time I go to watch something at someone else's house, I notice it immediately...and they had no clue.
Just FYI.

The Always Sunny Podcast spent a good 5 minutes bashing this. Why the hell do TV manufacturers still have this crap turned on by default? It does not look better. It makes the TV worse. It makes no sense.

and I fricking hate it.
It's distracting as hell.
Yes, I'm old school.

Is that when I'm watching a movie and it looks like an awkward fast forwarding or something? I can't really explain it but I've definitely noticed it before.

Ironically, the reason it looks so 'unnatural' is that it removes the artificial 'judder' that results when filmed motion takes place at a higher rate than the camera is able to capture (24 frames per second with film).
We all got used to seeing that when watching movies/TV, so the correction (which is designed to make fast movements look smooth, more like they do IRL) looks fake.

2022, and manufacturers are still putting this shite on their TVs. Try less sarcasm

I remember watching Batman Begins at a friend's house with automotion (samsung) and it looked like I was watching over the camera man's shoulder instead of watching a movie.
It looks good for sports or certain things like nature documentaries (planet earth series, etc) or video games. I like my movies at 24 fps like God intended though

doesn't everyone want their tv to look like they're watching Days of our Lives in 1977? Posted on 8/25/22 at 5:26 pm to CAD703X
Watching older BBC shows with the smoothing is a fricking trip

The first time I watched a movie with the SOE turned on I was high as a kite and it freaked me out.
