  • Hi-def TVs.

    They just make everything look fake. Actors can be seen acting, whist wearing makeup that looks like makeup, on sets that look like sets. All against the backdrop of a fucked up speed that looks totally fucked up, destroying every semblance of illusion.

    Basically some cunt has designed new tech that performs its intended function worse, but marketed it well enough to make people think it's an improvement?

    ... Sort of like selling smartphones without headphone jacks.

  • Yup, with you on that.

    Few of my mates have them and it just looks weird.

    Probably good for nature programs, live sport and stuff but for sitcoms n that it’s strange.

  • Thats just the TV settings you can make them not look like that

  • They just make everything look fake.

    But it is fake, so it makes it look more real.

    (Turn off that frame interpolation/tweening/'motion smoothing' function though.)

  • Basically this is down to some fucked up settings that interpolate the frames to create the illusion of 120fps. It makes films look like soaps and is generally just bad. You can usually turn it off along with all the other annoying settings that come enabled by default on smart TVs.

    4k and OLED can stay though.
