It's not going anywhere, unfortunately

Had to go through four sub-menus to turn this shit off on my mom's new TV.

I had to watch an intensely bright and motion smoothed Gremlins one Christmas, you could see the pudding-y consistency of the fake snow at the beginning. It was more horrific than a pureed gremlin.

Do people actually <i>enjoy</i> watching television like this, or is it more of a case of them getting a 4k TV and that being the default setting (so it must be <i>better</i>)?

it's def the default setting phenomenon, my parents do this and I'm like "wtf why does this look like CCTV"

I guess it somehow makes the display stuff they play in them at the store look better?

My tv (LG) allows me to gauge how much motion smoothing I want to see. I can go full soap opera, or I can dial it back to almost none, but just enough to make old shows and films look modern-ish (crisp visuals and less grain/noise in the footage). I don't watch anything through USB, so I don't know if my LG has the same issues James Morrison's does. I like having the option for a little or a lot.

Also, none. I can turn it off altogether, but I generally don't.

it's weird how many people I know that don't even know it's a setting, like even my brother has been like "I don't notice anything!"

I guess it's ok for sports?

I went "full austerity" on my Sony OLED but I had to back it off a skosh because it was a bit *too* hairshirt. Still the most "film" TV I have ever owned, I skipped LCD altogether and held on to my ageing plasma until I found a decent OLED on clearance.

i want an OLED so bad, to replace my 2006 toshiba, but 43” is the max i can put in my living room and they just don’t make em that small. there are some 48-inchers coming this year, which is the smallest they’ve ever gotten.

Some of them you can size up because the bezels are smaller - I had a 51" plasma but the 55" OLED is the same dimensions, just a smaller edge around the screen.

I am definitely on tenterhooks waiting for Smaller OLED TVs
