So, hanging out with my bff in our hotel room. We went swimming! It was awesome. :D
Now we're just chilling and the TV is on and...we both noticed that *everything*, but particularly any movie/tv show that's playing? Looks CGI. You know that look you get from a video game, when the people and the surrounds look really real, but you can also tell it's a game/CGI?

Everything looks like that on this tv. It's so fucking weird. Is this the new 'HD' tv? Bizarre.

It's probably because of motion smoothing? I would guess

It's the weirdest fucking thing i've ever seen. They are playing that movie 1917? Which i saw, so I remember what it looked like, and it looked...nothing like this. Weird as fuck.

I get that sometimes if the resolution is too high. Like, everything looks a little TOO real and detailed, and it just trips me out.

Yes! It's just so fucking weird, i DO NOT LIKE IT.

Oh man. I had that happen once when I was at Best Buy for something or other and had to wait for someone to grab something from the back, so I was just waiting in front of the TV displays and there was this huge flatscreen that was showing Magneto doing something or other... and I was like "wtf is this low-budget X-Men thing, it looks so completely fake" ...Turned out it actually was one of the X-Men movies but for some reason on that giant HDTV the special effects looked so detailed that it was all too obvious they couldn't possibly be real. Every single detail, near or far, was perfectly in focus, etc.

It is freakin' bizarre, just totally weird and verging on uncanny valley. If this is the new super-hi-def, i do not want a tv like this.

Oh god, that setting is HORRIBLE. There is a way to turn it off, if you go into the settings on your TV. You just have to fiddle around a bit. I think it's usually called Auto Motion Plus, or Motion Blur, or something in that vein.

What's truly wild to me is that some people don't notice it. I cannot even fathom how that's possible, but I had a friend who was completely oblivious to it. And then there are people who notice it but don't mind it.

And then there's people like me who start frothing at the mouth after literally ten seconds of having to sit through that shit. Hate. Haaaaate.

Friggin' weird. I don't have cable or anything anymore, and so don't watch my tv pretty much ever, for like...the last four or five years. Plus it's old, so probably doesn't do that.

But we both noticed within about two minutes. I can't imagine NOT noticing. Wowza.

This hotel tv will not let us into any menu that would turn that off. Grrr.

I remember when I first saw this, it was on a hotel TV when I was on vacation. It’s so weird! I first noticed it when I was watching an animated show, and I thought it was just the animation. But then it also did it for a sitcom, and that’s when I knew this was something to do with the TV. It pinged in my brain as both uncanny and too realistic, but there’s no way a sitcom can be “too realistic” when it comes to the way people walk. So that’s how I found out about motion smoothing on certain HD TVs, which I don’t like because it throws my brain off and almost gives me a headache. Luckily, I don’t see it too often. Let’s hope it’s not the default for TVs in the future.

It also reminds me of this one YouTube video ‘What Mulan (1998) Would Look Like in 60fps’ by Zekion, and other videos like it. So maybe it sometimes has to do with these TVs running things at 60fps or more that weren’t meant for that many frames per second, as much as it has to do with motion smoothing and blurring media that wasn’t made with that in mind? I couldn’t say for sure without looking it up, though. I’m not really a tech person.

It's just so weird and i can't NOT SEE IT. Arrrgh.

HA! That's cool.
We couldn't find - or couldn't access - any settings on the hotel tv to fix it, but good to know it *is* fixable if I ever buy a new tv. :D
