Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

I took another "tour" of a buddie's Samsung 240 Hz LED display...

A repeat of the "cartoonish" effect I didn't like previously. This time it was "The Rock" on Dish Network. Some have called it the "Soap opera" effect where the picture looks like one (or more) scene(s) superimposed on a background scene. Some might call this a "3D"ish effect but I found it irritating. Great display for video gaming but the LCDs have never given me the illusion of "reality" films sometimes do.

It's remotely possible the LED LCD is just providing a more "accurate" (?) rendering of how the film was put together revealing all the warts and limitations of film making technology, but I prefer the illusion at home of watching the movie on film at the movie theater; LCD has yet to do that for me.
