        It’s a terrible effect, and people who don’t spend much time in their TV’s setup may not know or think to turn it off - or they delude themselves into thinking they like the effect.

        If you’re watching a tv and the frame rate hitches all over the place every few seconds then one of these stupid fucking settings is on.

        The shit wouldn’t be so fucking awful if it could actually maintain a stable frame rate but it can’t. None of them can.

      Motion smoothing, frame interpolation features in TVs. It’s what makes movement look unnatural and on default TV settings. Old people can’t tell/don’t understand so it’s customary to sneakily disable it for them when visiting

      Yes. Motion smoothing. It’s like kerning or the Wilhelm scream. Once you notice it, you’ll hate it.

      It makes the slow panning forests and splashy paint videos in Currys look nice, but it makes movies and TV shows look terrible.
