A24 4,338 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Have you already changed the settings for watching movies? They always sell TVs with Motion enhancers 'on'. This might be nice for sports or games, but it changes movies into cheap soap operas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 My Samsung LCD player refers to motion smoothness when i do a factory settings reset. I always have to check the booklet on how to switch it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,338 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Salesmen always leave it 'on' when they try to impress you. You had to see the look on the salesman's face when I said: Sorry, the demo with the splashing paint looks good but the film clip looks terrible. It was an OLED screen with all the bells and whistles put to the max. They really think it improves the picture ... and it seems to work with most of the customers.

I think it's off by default on this TV though. There is one motion enhancer that doesn't add soap opera effect and makes moving objects and text smoother. On my old LG TV I had to set TruMotion with Judder at 0 and Blur at 10 Overall the most stunning image quality difference is for 4KHDR videogames (with PS4Pro), BluRays look better especially dark scenes (probably because the native contrast ration is way better on this Sony than my old TV ) and regular 1080i cable TV looks about the same as my old TV ( so getting a 4K HDR TV JUST for cable TV would be a waste of money) I haven't tried 4K netflix yet or ultra blurays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,338 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I bet you opted to leave it 'on', right? I had three plasma TVs and they had no 'motion' tricks. I still use the Samsung 51" Plasma for watching regular TV and the OLED 65" for watching TV series and movies. The Samsung looks small now.

Not over a flat OLED TV, which has perfect viewing angles, because it's OLED. A few years ago, curved TVs were severely being pushed here in Europe. However, it didn't really catch on, and now it's almost impossible to find one in the shops. There was a time that I considered it because lack of demand made the price of curved OLED screens very attractive, but since I also do photo editing on my TV, I decided not to go through with it.

A24 4,338 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 My once favorite movie theatre Ciné Rubens (where I've seen Star Wars, 2001: ASO, Alien, Blade Runner, etc.) not only had the biggest screen in Belgium, it also had a 'serious' inward curve. All the classic movie theatres in my town are gone now and replaced decades ago with impersonal concrete multiplexes. The seats and the sound of Cine Rubens weren't great, but I didn't care, the image is what was 'essential' to me. JoeinAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 A curved screen makes sense in a huge theatre.

A24 4,338 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 True. I guess that's why Joey is saving for a 88" screen. It will only have effect if you sit close enough. The photo of Ciné Rubens doesn't do justice to the hugeness of the screen. The curtains aren't all the way open, that was only when the movie started (and only with certain movies), and when it happened, it was always mind-boggling. When seated from my favorite position (one row in front of the middle row), you had to turn your head to see what was going on on the left or right side of the screen. It will always be my favorite theatre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
