I just picked up a Samsung 46" 120HZ Smart LED tv, hooked up my 360... and was appalled! There looked to be pixel smearing! Why is it running at a clear 60fps (not a complaint, just curious)? Why is there slight-but-noticeable input delay?! Oh... wait, I'm not on Game mode. Switched it to that, and now everything's peachy, though I haven't had more than 10 minutes to really play with it. I have a couple questions... 1.) What exactly does Game mode shut off, in terms of processing? That TrueMotion bullshit, I know for one thing. Is that it? 2.) Is there anyone out there not using a digital cable box for their cable? I find it odd that all of these tv's have a built-in channel tuner, but everyone I know just goes through a cable box. 3.) I've noticed this with my 21" Fluid-brand LCD computer monitor (that I was using my xbox through before), as well as my parents' and best friend's tv... When I'm playing a game, Skyrim, for example, if I look up at the sky, everything's REALLY bright, and then it's like my character's eyes 'adjust'. Look back down to the ground really quickly, and for about a second, everything is black, and then the tv's contrast kicks in and levels everything out. Is this a game-specific thing (I don't think so, I've noticed it with Red Dead Redemption as well), or are all tv's doing this? Is it something to do with LCD, and if so, does it even happen with LED? This bugs the poo poo out of me, and I just want it to stop, but if it IS something with the tvs, I doubt I can get really dynamic colour and not have this happen, right?

Is burn-in still an actual concern nowadays?

dy. posted:Your TV is in fact running at 120Hz, but the signal it gets is only 60Hz. The SmoothMotion/etc effect is when it takes that 60Hz signal and tries to interpolate frames to make it 120Hz - essentially it is creating an extra frame from the two surrounding it. I'm still mystified as to who thinks this looks good. This being the HDTV Megathread, I have NO doubt that this argument has been brought up multiple times, so I won't further it beyond asking if anyone has a link or something that explains the reasoning behind this. I'm not being sarcastic, I genuinely want to read more about this new fad of smoothing out the tv's output, so as to give everything more frames. I haven't met anyone who actually prefers it. It's odd, since you'd think 'the more, the better!', but give me my 24/29.97 fps anyday.

I guess I overlooked sports because I don't watch any, so that's definitely fair.
