| kn said: I'm still not used to the "soap opera effect" that comes with hi-def movies (both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray). I've watched extended pieces of movies at BestBuy, Circuit City, and so on and quite often -- in varying scenes -- the "reality" of the image makes it look like a Soap Opera. I'm not saying it is bad -- just different. Film on screen as a very different look to it. I saw it in several places in Spiderman 3 as we as Batman. It seems to be evident on just about any high quality 1080P set... I guess it is something you get used to. |
I'm guessing you were watching from a Sony xbr4?
As of right now, only Xbr4/5's have that 120hz motion enhancer option. Other TV's from other manufacturers have 120hz but they haven't made a proper software with it yet.
Motion enhancer smooths motion by making extra frames on its own which makes the "soap opera effect".
Of course you could always turn it off for the movie judder full experience again.
You could even turn on 24 frames/per sec for a true movie conversion experience.
Hi-def movies don't give the "soap opera effect" on their own. If that was the case, you'd feel the "soap opera effect" If you watch a movie in a movie theater.
