  • Before I do anything else with a TV, I make a few key adjustments. But why? Let's take a look at picture presets, color temperature, and motion processing, and why I insist on using certain picture modes and turning certain settings on or off.

      Proper motion smoothing makes a movie pop, thats why even LG started including it in their Movie Picture Settings. I hate the Judder & Choppiness you get especially with an OLED that needs the help.
      For me a Calibration is just the start...then you start learning what the featured do on your expensive tv. I stopped listening to all the purists when I played around and saw the improvement with my own eyes. Calibrators will tell you that isn't the directors intent. Some died before my tv was even made... But regardless, if they wanted it to look bad in motion....i do not!

    I really like your content, find it extremely helpful. One recommendation - recap your points at the end with specific settings. Like some of your other content, I had to watch this 5 times to understand what exact settings you were talking about and then find them on my TV. I'm likely not the only one, but I tend to flip through videos pretty quick, trying to get to the main points. Not trying to be an annoying critic - I really like your stuff - just think this would be extremely helpful for many of us.

I turned it off and it was like watching a totally different TV and a more enjoyable experience.

    Been watching a lot of your videos, and several other youtubers in my quest for a new TV. I just got my A80J Wednesday and the first thing I noticed was how many things I watched looked choppy. After messing with motion settings and turning this setting up my eyes were suddenly pleased by the smoothness of the picture, which finally proved what all the reviewers said about how good Sony is at motion.. Today the youtube algorithm presented me with this video and I am pleased to see I am not alone in the comments that many people also feel the keeping motion settings on or cranked up takes away the distraction of choppiness. I get why you would turn this off for performance testing, but when it comes down to relaxing and watching TV. I want to be immersed and not distracted by these types of issues. I want my TV to look good to my eyes and not a single one of my friends or family will ever notice how much of a purest I am when it comes to TV settings. I use these videos to help me understand the upsides and downsides of these settings and what they do, then try them for myself to decide what stays or goes.

      They are a really good inspiration … but what they miss is a key factor … personal preference and individual perception … most ‚perfect‘ settings I changed straight away … and my TV Service Team stopped offering high end calibration services as the response from many customers came … brilliant perfect settings, but I do not like it … I prefer smoothness on and some reality creation on as well on my 83“ A90J … looks so much better and soap opera effect it does hardly produce … to get this you need to mess around hard with the settings. In the end perfect is the way we like it … and this only we can calibrate … inspired by such clips here …

    Thanks Caleb. Yes these tutorial type videos are a breathe of fresh air.
    Absolutely I'd be interested in more how to's, behind the scenes, tutorials, calibration tips for both TV as well as audio. Also I know you're main focus is on the TV's and with all the new stuff coming in 2021 it takes alot of your time, but I'd love to see maybe a collab with some other reviewers in setting up some amazing home theatre setups. I have watches your videos for the past few years, but I'm not sure how many others at digital trends i could name. I'd love to see a project your all contribute to. I mean the whole chibang. Including the TV, the premium audio options, maybe even the lighting choices, remote choices, smart home integrations. Maybe change your set. You've used the same TV stand and speaker setup forever. How about some wall mounted setups? I do love those KEFs but we never hear about them or any other audio options. What about expanding from TVs to projectors and screens as well?
    Home theatre space is about to explode after everyone's been home this year. And we've all simply scratched the surface on what's available. And group projects always seem to help channels expand so much faster than just going it alone. Look at MKBHD. He's done so good with his honest reviews, but he has gone to a whole new level with his expanded projects the past few years.
    Just some thoughts for you. Great work as always.

      24fps was a compromise in the infancy of the movie industry for the equipment of the time. Liking it nowadays is like lighting your home with candles - it brings a feeling of nostalgia. Black and white movies were also an early limitation so should we turn off color?

  • @MichaelAlderete
    @MichaelAlderete 3 года назад +24

    This is a great introduction to a series. One thing I might suggest, and maybe something to go along with your behind the scenes, is to be more specific about _exactly_ what settings you're recommending changing. I'm sure it's second nature to you at this point, you've been deep in the settings trees of a hundred TVs, maybe a thousand times. Most folks (or at least I) don't have nearly that familiarity, even with our own TV sets.
    Whizzing through the settings in this video, I can't even tell which settings examples are from an LG TV (my own TV brand) vs. the others. I can never remember what LG's proprietary motion smoothing setting is called, or what all of the different levels mean or do. You've _forgotten_ more about TV settings than most of us will ever know. So, when making recommendations, it's worth being _very_ clear, at least for the top TV brands. Or at least slowing down the action and cuts in your video, so we can see what you're doing.
    You obviously can't do it for every single TV brand and model, but when there's commonalities across models within a brand, or maybe for the top rated or top selling models, it would be really valuable. Thanks!

    Absolutely. A full hr of setup, including 7.1 surround, would be amazing. Covering everything: placement, color calibration, killing pre-sets, trade-offs (e.g. motion blur vs. sharpness), setting up sound NOT With my receiver instructions, maybe even saving 2 settings -- one for sports, one for movies; one for day, one for night, one for yourself, and a super-bright one for morons, etc. Finally, motion smoothing is death. But so is jitter and judder. I always turn motion control off, but too many tvs still struggle with interpolation and motion. I find myself battling the deep recesses color and white color in order to make up for the necessary oversaturation and contrast. I will say,, it's fun to stay up late when visiting my parents, adjusting all the settings,, and seeing how long it takes one of them to say 'they must have updated our software again, because this looks great.' As in, blacks and whites suddenly have wrinkles. Definitely the Bold and the Beautiful, for me.

    • @GanymedeXD
      @GanymedeXD Год назад +2

      I wonder what this is useful for … its also about personal preference and subjective perception … a lot of ‚best settings‘ recommendations look awful … I had TV s professionally calibrated … it just did not fit with the way I and many people subjectively like it … my TV Team stopped offering a high end calibration service as subjectively too many people feel differently … so working this out yourself with some inspiration is the best way forward. I tried it with family and friends and the ‚best settings‘ for the individual TV often led to the result ‚who messed up the TV settings‘. Especially switching smoothing and reality creation off led to protests. Has nothing to do with morons but that everybody perceives it differently based on personal liking and a different perception.

The scene showed a butterfly sat on a wild flower, with motion smoothing on, it just swayed gently in the breeze, but when I rewound and watched the same scene with motion smoothing OFF, the butterfly was clearly making tiny little twitches with it’s wings, to keep itself stable on the flower, a detail that was previously completely lost! 🥰👍🦋

    I used to always cut off motion smoothing completely off in the past. Since I got a TCL 65R655 very recently, however, I do like keeping motion smoothing set to low when watching movies. When I use the low motion smoothing setting in conjuction with HDR/Dolby Vision dark, it removes judder without making anything look unnatural to my eyes. When I turn the motion smoothing off completely, the 24p judder is just too noticeable particularly during panning shots.

    Well, I love the "soap opera effect" but in some movies. Mostly movies from the 30's through the 70's. Including TV shows. It's like giving them a form of art life, when I showed my wife her favorite movie Back to the Future in full 60fps. She was so happy cause she kept saying during the movie is like I'm there with them filming the movie. Is a new experience, and watching cartoons like Tom & Jerry of the 70's is so beautiful how that animation still looks so well done.

    22 years as a motion picture projectionist, running 35mm and 70mm prints at 24fps, and I can say without hesitation that I'll take high frame rates any day of the week. 24fps was the standard because the entire film industry was set up for it originally. We are now free of that limitation thanks to the industry going all digital, but for whatever reason, Hollywood insists on keeping the look of a technologically inferior process. Film was a magnificent medium, but the relatively low frame rate (actually 48 images per second, because shutters are double-bladed) was for backwards compatability.
    If the scene is lit properly, and the DoP understands what they're doing, it can be incredibly immersive (Douglas Trumbull's Showscan process was magnificent, for example). I have a 120 Hz OLED and I'll take as much smoothing as I can get.

    Ever since I have seen motion smoothing I loved it. It made everything look more lifelike. How they are adding frames is not what is important but how it is displayed. If it looks smooth as butter then that is all I care about. I am coming from a generation were movies and TV viewing has always been 24fps or 30fps. Seen stuff at a faster smoother frame rate is a non brainer to me and a nice upgrade to the motion viewing. Why deny that? We might as well play videogames at 24-30fps and call it quits there but we don't, the same should be applied with movie watching. Give us the higher framerates. As for the color issue I see your point about getting that warm look but it gives it a more "Sepia" style of brightness, for me I tend to like the brighter bluer color spectrum. Whites look more, well white. Say no to yellow snow and falling pee.. I mean rain.

      You definitely will prefer 120 as fps stands for "frames per second" meaning the screen refreshes 120 times every second. So, as action takes place, motion taking place in increments (frames) of 120 times per second is much smoother than 60, 30, etc. Think of a stop motion picture 🤔

It’s so therapeutic to me, and it’s why I still love CRTs to this day. That said, I don’t have a problem with cinematic 24fps, as long as it has true motion blur (inherent in the film from the camera) that helps to offset the fewer frames. Just my humble take.
