This is something that does vary from person to person. I've found that some people just don't see it.
The smoothing drives me insane, and then it drives me insane a second time around when people say there is "literally no difference" when I turn it off. BUT that's just how it is.

I absolutely don't understand how so many people can't see the difference. Like 75% of people I know (whose TVs I have observed). It looks like raw news footage or something, and all motion looks unnatural and jagged. But their brains can't see any difference when I turn that shit off.

u/kkpc Jul 15 '26
Most people I know, they buy big TVs (that's basically the default nowadays), and everything is at like 1080 and blurry, sounds like shit, looks like shit. I fix it to use 4k, better audio so it doesn't sound like a tin box piercing my eardrums, and they say they can't tell the difference. I'm convinced people don't actually watch tv, they just use it for background noise while on their phones.

I'm the family IT guy, so I'm always in charge of setting up any new electronics. Whenever I set up someone's TV, I always turn off any motion smoothing no matter what. They may not notice but I certainly will and it will bother me if I'm watching TV at their house.

Dude, have you ever gone to someone's place and their TV is just outright blue? The reds are blue, the greens are blue, the blues are blue, the whites are blue. Everything is just different shades of blue, maybe with a hint of color. Less common now with modern LCDs than with LCDs from the 2000 to 2010 era, but I have still seen it. Sometimes it is wild what people will settle for in terms of picture quality.

there are only few films on earth with 60+ fps.
You do realize why this is, right? It's not a tech limitation, it's a style choice. 24fps looks more cinematic and, more importantly, is how the director wants the movie to look. For optimal viewing experience, media should always be viewed as the director intended.
On a more personal level: damn u crazy for liking the soap opera effect. Makes big budget blockbusters look like cheap home movies.

I play games at fairly high refresh rates I would say I prefer fairly high refresh rates for games. Definitely more for the responsiveness though. Have not used interpretation or what I think you might mean by interpolation (I'm thinking frame gen). Actually I sometimes don't mind a bit of motion smoothing on some games. Depends on implementation. This is definitely something that annoys me way more when it is used on TVs and when it used to view real-life/ non-animated content

Motion blur, which a lot of TV/monitor settings also call motion smoothing. If I interpolation you mean frame gen, I have not used frame gen in games.
I do know that sometimes when people will post videos of gameplay and they will double the frame rate. Those can be hit or miss.
Also just saw a few clips from the movie Gemini man. They were fine I think. Maybe there was a little bit of motion smoothing in one of the clips, but I did not feel like anything was egregious.

None of the three clips that I saw had 60 FPS as an option in the quality settings on YouTube. If you have a particular video in mind then please post a link but I do find it odd that you picked this one movie as if it always exists with 60 FPS as a quality settings.
Regardless this thread is not about frame gen. I have only a limited idea on what frame gen really looks like because I haven't seen enough. This is about motion blur and motion smoothing, which are often available as TV / monitor settings. These are complaints I've had since for as long as I've been watching TV, which has been happening since before modern frame generation via interpolation was a thing.

That's not motion blur. It looks different. I do dislike it as well. Not as much as motion blur. Motion blur looks wrong and makes me feel sick. This just looks like it was shot on a smartphone camera with strong eis.
That being said I understand the argument about its "smoothness", and honestly I can see someone liking this interpolated version, whereas I can't really see why anyone likes motion blur.
Still, I don't like this interpolated look compared to the original: It takes away the sense of speed and motion and feels like it's been framed incorrectly. I'm probably not using the correct term there, but...

u/IgnatiusR Jul 15 '26
Same here. I will still enable filmmaker mode so I can enjoy the frame rate the way the director intended - especially for movies shot on film. But I really believe the smoothness algorithms have improved so much that it's really a better experience for shows that have a lot of wide, panning shots like Planet Earth

u/marcellusmartel Jul 15 '26 edited Jul 15 '26
You might be linking motion blur or motion smoothing (terms I'm using interchangeably) with frame rate (hence you mention slideshow). Those two are not linked. Motion blur/smoothing (as I am referring to it) does not increase your frame rate. It tries to create the "illusion" of increased frame rate by smearing all your frames. So you just end up with the same frame rate, but each frame looks worse.
1
u/Nexii801 Jul 15 '26
I'm not conflating them. And motion blur/smoothing are distinct techniques.
Blur typically refers to some sort of interpolation, with loss of detail.
And smoothing usually refers to BFI.
regardless, the end result is the perception of increased smoothness.

It’s the Samsung S95D that comes with a matte screen. To people’s credit, I will say that when I was standing in Best Buy looking at all the different models of tv, I felt maybe certain other brands had technically nicer picture. With that said, the S95D has an exceptional picture quality for me, and the matte screen makes it a no brainer choice that I would make again instantly if I had to buy a new tv today.

Ok. For the record, we have shades. Still there is too much ambient light. It would be cost ineffective and aesthetically displeasing to place blackout curtains on every window that would be necessary. We would need to turn off any light source in the room which would make navigating the room a nightmare. Or, and this is a big or, we could just get the matte screen tv. Now we have a beautiful home and a tv we can watch at any time of the day. Again, your confidence in knowing all things is astounding. Thank you for your Ted talk. Please disengage. I know I will.

Yes, but also if you want to be frugal and you do more TV-watching than looking out the window in your TV room, I'd recommend static cling window film. I spent like $25 to cover our enormous windows that were right across from our TV and it is working perfectly. No drilling, no debating about placement, you can remove and re-do if it's crooked, it was like 10% of what a good, light-proof curtain setup would have been, no dusting, no extra fabric hanging around our couch. Is it the classiest look? No. Do I watch too much TV? Yes. Do I love being able to watch The X-Files in the daytime now? Also yes.

If it's 90" it's likely a cheapo direct LED with trash brightness and anti glare. Most high end models are either 83" (OLED) or 85" or 98" (mini LED).
I don't think I've ever seen a decently speced TV be 90". It's a weird size.

Semi-gloss seems to work well enough too. Last I checked, it seemed like it was getting hard to find quality TVs with anything other than a glossy finish.

You either buy a grainy matt screw and your picture always looks.. grainy.
Or you get a smooth clear screen and deal with reflections.
Either way, watching in darkness is always a better experience.
OLED just lets you see black as actual black instead of mildly dark grey and in general better colors.

Manufacturers have other tricks they use in the production of high end OLED panels that really help with reflections. They won't beat matte for this but they will have a superior picture for people that care enough.

u/wicker_warrior Jul 15 '26
Not really, while high-end OLEDs might handle glare better than low end OLEDs, LED and other LED variants will generally fair better.
Peak brightness helps most in a bright room. The “true black” of OLEDs is more a selling point for picture quality, contrast, HDR, etc.
It was something I looked into when shopping for a new tv as our tv room gets lots of afternoon and evening sun.
1
u/beirch Jul 15 '26
No, this is why you'd want a panel with enough brightness to fight the glare. Usually OLEDs don't get bright enough to do that. Mini LED would be your best bet.
Although some premium OLED models also get pretty bright to the point glare usually isn't an issue. The panel's anti glare coating also plays a part.

Does anyone make TVs with a fairly aggressive matte coating?
I prefer it on my monitors precisely because it gets rid of glare. I like projectors because they also don't have glare.
But using a projector in a lit room is difficult. And then watching a glossy TV in a lit room is honestly also fairly difficult, but has an edge over the projector.
But a matte one would really solve for me. But I've never seen it, they're always like mirrors.
