So film looks like video on an LCD tv.
I think LCD tv's are unwatchable for serious movie watching.
This is not news.
I would be interested to see what he thought of seeing the same thing on a plasma.

If the motion-smoothing feature is turned on, then everything looks like video. People often refer to this as the "soap opera effect." It's great to prevent motion blur on live-action sports programs, but it should be turned off for filmed materials. It's also possible to make films look unreal by using excessive edge enhancement, which can occur in the player, the receiver. or the TV, depending on how everything is hooked up. Often this feature can be turned OFF.

BTW I saw the same video ("RED SHOES") on Blu-Ray that the article's author did, on my new 1080p Samsung LCD TV, and it certainly did NOT look unreal when the Samsung AutoMotion feature was turned off.
