Since watching tv shows and movies on an ultra HD tv... That makes everything look like Blu-Ray... I just feel like I can't get into the movie or show as much as I used to... It doesn't feel like a "movie" to me. Is it just me?

I remember when people said the same thing when DVDs first came out.
At some point were going to get used to 4K and talk about how we cant get into holograms or whatever. The only thing I dont like is the motion smoothing tech. theyre putting in TVs. I bought a TV with that and I had to turn it off. |

The first time I felt that was watching Fury, it just seemed wrong that a WW2 movie looked so modern.

I love my 70" Vizio UHD set, but I do notice that the scaling of HD TV shows (over cable) imparts a somewhat strange video effect that I don't have good words to describe but is quite noticeable...

Check the settings.
Some displays have a "smooth motion" setting that makes everything look like a soap opera rather than 24 fps cinema. My mother's Vizio was set to this, and it made everything look chintzy. A simple change of the settings, and things looked much better afterwards. |

When I first brought home my ultrahd tv I couldn't stand the way the picture looked. After some googling, I found out I was experiencing what they call the soap opera effect. Everything almost looked fake. After some more googling I found out about some settings that can be changed that will eliminate that effect. I love the tv now.

It's just you, I got the Samsung k8500 uhd 4K player and some 4K blurays the other day, it's amazing.

There is a point where things on the screen look sharper than in real life. Yea it's weird, I don't really like it.

How the fuck do people not know about the soap opera effect and disabling that shit by now?

UHD on a OLED tv is ridiculously nice. Picture is crazy when compared side by side to an LED tv. Can't afford it though
I have two 55in led 1080p smart tv's, Samsung & LG, I'm more than happy with what I have. |

If it was the resolution that was bothering you then going to the movies wouldn't feel like going to the movies since almost all theaters are showing films in 2k or 4k these days. Turn that Frame Interpolation crap off and your movies will look right. |

Anything over 1080 is grossly overrated. I don't want to notice stretch marks, ass acne (assne), or the anal leakage from her last scene. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I want to get one to use as a monitor for a gaming PC.

Movies will be going to higher frame rates in the future, and once people get accustomed to it, they will wonder how people ever watched an unnatural, jerky 24 fps. But it will take time. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Once everything is like that we will all get used to it. |

We have a 42" Vizio that's probably 5 years old now. I'll probably invest in a UHDTV when that technology is long outdated. After dropping $2400 on a DLP when they first came out, and it being a total turd, I'm done spending big money on TVs.

The issue at hand has more to do with rendering than the recorded frame rate. |

I can't stand watching anything but HD right now. Can't do it. I doubt that 4K will be a complete replacement of HD content, as the difference isn't like standard vs HD, and that difference isn't enough to prevent me from enjoying both UHD and HD. For me, there was no getting used to it, from day one it was, and still it, awesome.

Once everything is like that we will all get used to it. I'm not sure that change is a sure thing. Higher than 24fps frame rates have been around a long time (Live TV, Sports, Soap Operas...) so it's not like people aren't used to seeing it. Frame rate lends a particular aesthetic to whatever is being shown and 24fps in particular is very good at hiding flaws that would otherwise prevent a viewer from suspending their disbelief. That's why at 24fps you say "This is taking place on the bridge of a Star Destroyer!" whereas at 60 fps you say "This is obviously taking place on a sound stage". I'm not sure if that's something you can get used to. |

I used to hate the soap opera effect, but now I like it. Makes things cleaner to me.

The problem is frame creation in the rendering. In creating additional interpolated frames, the TVs are often employing a higher degree of sharpening and edge definition. Something like this is great for football, but is giving you something that is completely different from the source. It's the moving version of a bad photoshop.

View Quote The reason you feel this way is not because it's UHD >1080, it's because they're multi-buffering the frames on shows originally shot <30fps and showing it to you in >120hz |
