Gonna look into the setting tonight scalius Send a noteboard - 19/04/2011 07:22:19 PM
Get on the phone with friend, adjust settings, see what happens. Figure out where we are both at for Truevision (LG's motion tech) settings, etc. I'll report back later.

From everything I've read, these are two different issues. If I understand DomA correctly, he seems to be saying that isn't so. I don't believe he's right on that, but he does seem to be something of an expert, so you can decide who to believe. I tried to provide at least one link to back up what I was saying, but the site I linked to was hardly the authority on such matters, so. . .*shrugs* In any case, I'll explain the issue as I understand it.


I'm not sure what to think, because I've read articles which appear to consider them as one and the same, while others appear to make a distinction. Of course, some info is from 2008, and other info from 2010. It's a bit frustrating just from a geeky, technical aspect.

1) Soap Opera Effect: everything looks "too smooth." This is caused by the TV's circuitry algorithmically creating intermediate frames, instead of displaying the same frame many times in a row.

2) Judder: This is caused by a tv running at a frame rate that is not a multiple of the source input. Typically, you will find this when watching 24fps input (most blu-rays) on a 60hz tv (most low-end televisions). The following link will explain the technical side of the problem better than I can: <a href="http://wesleytech.com/1080p-24p-blu-ray-judder-explained/392/">link</a>.

To prevent judder when watching 24p source material, you need a tv capable of refreshing at a multiple of 24. This is common for LCDs, which often have 120 or 240hz modes. These tvs generally have a "cinema" mode (again, it's called a lot of different things) that sets the tv to use its higher refresh rate, WITHOUT using the automotion processing that causes the SOA. In other words, it displays one frame five times, followed by the next at five times, etc. Rather than displaying one frame, then displaying four algorithmically generated intermediate frames, then the next "real" frame, etc.

LCD HDTVs have a great picture, no doubt about that. The soap opera effect of automotion processing bothers some people, but other people love it. For those who don't, just turning it off should work fine. I have no idea what your tv is set to use, but I'd say you either don't have a lot of processing enabled, or else you've learned to like the SOA. Either one is perfectly fine, and I'm sure you've got a great tv.


In the end, all I know are a few general things: the SOA effect doesn't bother me. I'm used to it I think, though again I don't notice it on my set as much as I do on my friends. That's probably settings, which as noted above I'll look into later; I love the quality, and others do as well. However not everything is equal, and some signals are excellent, while others have blur or lesser quality. Some sports are excellent (hockey/golf) while others are good but show blurr with fast motion (basketball mostly, but also football). I have no idea the cause, whether it be on the broadcasters end, the cable end, or my end; standard DVD's look significantly better, and display some SOA which I like. Blu-rays are incredible, though there is "good" and "bad" discs, not all are equal. Which seems kind of odd to me, but whatever. Source material quality maybe? Conversion quality maybe from film to digital?
I would slave, to pave the way, to sink your ship of fools.
