Nope, it actually looks more like real life.

The issue with blurry television and low frame rate is that it is not capturing the definition and clarity of real life. Motion blur is an artifact of this. If the picture is not sharp, your eyes fill in blurs where the detail should be. If the picture is in a low frame rate, the same thing.

If something is captured that is exactly like real life, the only motion blur you will see is the kind that naturally follows your inability to follow fast movements, rather than technical limitations.

Okay, number one: see a neurologist right now. Make an appointment. Not seeing motion blur in real life is not normal.

Number two: no. Just no. That is not how motion blur works. It is actually a sign of a properly functioning occipital lobe, not a technological artefact. If you are not seeing motion blur in real life, your brain is not functioning properly.

Jesus fucking Christ I did not say motion blur doesn't happen in real life.

EDIT: To clarify, motion blur actually doesn't happen in real life because it is a technical term for still or sequential images, NOT the term for seeing blur when things move fast in real life.

I'm saying low definition and low frame rate creates an artificial blur. The amount of blur you perceive on your TV set is more than you would see in real life.

Don't order people to go to doctors. It's beyond fucking rude.

I've gotta agree with the other anon - motion blur is a part of normal vision, though we tend not to notice because our brain ignores the irrelevant information. The combination of the object in motion and our eyes following said object's motion creates a blur.

The problem with hi-def videos is that things look hyper-realistic - it's too perfect. The lack of motion blur sort of freaks our brains out because things are moving and there should be some blur, but because the framerate is so high and because our eyes don't have to move to follow the moving object, there's no natural blur. And that's fucking weird to our brains. For some people, it's no big deal, but it lends itself to a weird Uncanny Valley effect, which can be disconcerting to people.

Yeah, that's pretty much my problem with the whole thing. I'd rather watch lower quality stuff on my 11" laptop than on some of my friend's/family's 60" blu-ray high def TVs.

For the love of god, please understand what I am saying.

Low frame rates and low definition CAUSE THINGS TO LOOK BLURRIER THAN THEY ARE. After years of seeing television and movies in low-def and low FPS, audiences have come to conceive this as being the "correct" way to view movies (particularly frame rate). The tech isn't all there to make images on screen appear as they would in real life, but my point is that on a low-def, 24 FPS screen, you are seeing SIGNIFICANTLY more blur than you get in real life.

Your massive butthurt is really embarrassing. Just admit you don't know what you're talking about and move on.

What's that, Lassie? Anon is providing uneducated, unsourced opinions and making a huge ass of himself? Don't just stand there, Lassie, go stop him before it's too late!

Oh god...we weren't in time. His ass has reaching critical mass. God help us all.
