kind of "FLAT Equalizer" on audio terms.
or the direct button on some amplifiers
Ditch that Phat sound and get with Flat.
Yip, and given some Director's pashion about their works. I'd not rule out future TV's having guiding lasers telling you where to sit, and will only play the movie if your sat in that exact spot. Which may well be handy for toilet break pauses.
Problem there is the 'bricking' of the audio before it is committed to media. You're not getting a natural soundscape, you're getting every channel of mixed audio cranked up to full loudness. Those subtle sounds the artist tried to make in the studio, the producer murders so when you play that MP3 or CD at home, the music is already 'turned up' before you crank it yourself.
@@sireuchre True, there is a movement going on to be more natural and less "loudness". Hope this will be the next thing in audio and video.
Idea: Why pixels can suddenly go dead on a pc monitor.
There's "Monitor Defects As Fast As Possible" episode at Techquickie
Sometimes it's just stuck, tap it with a pen and that can fix it, happened to me twice

Do this please
Holy crap the color is terrible on this video... Deep Fried Linus will now haunt my dreams, thanks editors!
But he will taste good
SujiMayne oh wow you must be so clever and know so much about video
Billy Buttlord he knows a lot about ‘seeing’ tho
He actually looks pink because of the white background. LTT videos tend to have more color-variant sets.
Linus should have a filmmaker mode next time
LTT video title checklist nowadays:
☑️ a question
☑️ the word "heck"
☑️ two question marks
Lol
I work for a TV/Monitors company's tech support line, and I gotta say, I sometimes use your videos to learn or explain to colleagues what certain features are. Your videos rock! :D
Would love to see a video on "How many different Operating Systems Can We Cram Into 1 PC" going all the way back to DOS.
Try to set a world record.
They have Anthony..anything is possible.
Featuring HaikuOS, Visopsys, ReactOS and TempleOS.
I mean, with virtual machines that's actually really easy.
When using a virtual machine, you basically have to dedicate one processor core per OS and one for the host OS.
Amiga OS and DOS is on all windows installs anyways in the background ever waiting to be used again.
Idea for episode: maybe talk about how to connect multiple Bluetooth devices and have them all play at same time
I want to see that!
Me too, just moved into a new apartment and would like to have something comparable to a multi room Audio setup
@@fuckyourcouch23 the problem is that, well, you can't. Unless obviously you have special bluetooth modem in your devices that enables this feature(it is available on for example s8,s9,s10,note8,9,10). There is a misinformation that bluetooth 5 by itself allows that feature but it does not.
@@kjkardum good to know 😔 thanks for your reply
@@kjkardum There is an app though that can link multiple phones each to own audio devices though
Now there is only one thougt in my mind:
Are there any mechanical RGB TV-remotes?
@@bootlegscarce0844 yeah but what about the special buttons
suggestion: When the computer crashed, why does it mostly repeat a really small part of the sound it last played?
MCsciencesmith RAM
Probably because the last thing it was doing was playing that sound so when it gets stuck in a loop it repeats the sound.
@@danielsjohnson The question is why in a loop
@Bill Messenger very informative, thank you
Bill Messenger thank you bill messenger, very cool
It's interesting to see this, and I thank you Linus for bringing a little light to the subject. Any 'modern' TV I have purchased I have pretty much gone into the menu and turned off most of the enhancements and simply adjusted color to my taste. The Filmmaker Mode may work, but it seems that every panel I have is set differently to achieve what suits me.
3:26 Maybe that's why LG calls it "Soccer mode", at least on some of their older TV models.
Yeah in standard and nuetral mode the films stutter, film maker and movie mode its great. Plus alot of people say speakers are tinny, but in amplifier mode it sounds so much better
"Endorsed by big name Directors like" :
Christopher Nolan [Oh yeah? cool]
Ryan Johnson [ish... meh whatever...]
M Night Shyamalan [OK, Linus is just trolling]
M night is still just as popular though
after the life action avatar i will never watch another movie that had anything to do with shyamalan im beyond salty about that still and anything he endorses makes me instantaly think its a dumpster fire of a idea
M night is a HELL of a lot better director than Ryan Johnson's/sji ass.
Still the movie is better than all of korra.
For those that don't know, when calibrating your TV for movies, the goal is to calibrate the color as best/close to, to match the color spectrum standard that filmmakers usually use to film their movies movies with, like rec709.
Im onboard for this! First thing I do with a tv is turn off smooth motion and desaturate the image a bit.
Hopefully this Filmmaker Mode can be added to older tvs firmwares and would just appear as an extra item on the popup menu.
Why would you desaturate the image? Most films are already way too desaturated.
@@Ruhrpottpatriot because like the video says, Vivid setting is often left on and its way too saturated for home viewing.
Better choice would be to turn off vivid/dynamic mode instead of turn the color down.
@@flameshana9 I do. I use custom mode to tweak it.
1:53 shows LG tv with Samsung remote control. 100% Linus!
It makes you a moviemaker clearly.
Probably use it for gaming since I used to enjoy vivid colours at one point now my eyes fancy realistic colours if peaple dont like realistic colours then I don't know what to say i guess it's your choice to make your colours look like a neon light
I worked for quite a few years for a few TV manufacturers (including one mentioned here) on support.
The example that Linus gave for the smoothness helping to see the ball is the WORST example he could have chosen.
Number 1 reason for people contacting support that resulted in recommendation to switch the artificial interpolation option off was because the white ball on highly contrasting dark background of the field is extremely smudgy/blurry/hard to see/leaves a huge trail behind it.
There wouldn't be a single reason I would recommend the smoothing options on any TV set. It is just more and more and more interpolation layered on itself with even more post-processing on top of that to hide the interpolating effect resulting in more blur that is then countered with artificial sharpening post-processing.
For as good as the hardware is in modern sets, the software has been force-fed by marketing for every single brand on the market.
"Endorsed by big name directors... like Ryan Johnson" lol k
mentioning rian johnson as a big name filmmaker subverted your expectations
he is still a big name director and knives out looks good . he just sucks at star wars movies. if you're going on hits to misses ratio then shamalamadingdong is far worse.
@@michaeljeacock he made like 4 movies 2 of which flopped commercially...
@@antonuramer So has Denis Villeneuve, his movies have barely made any profit but he is considered a big name in Hollywood. There are many big-time directors who haven't found commercial success.
@@manlad23 None of the mare considered quality cinema either
Wow, Linus is looking overly smooth today.
He uses filmmaker mode
Please give us an episode on how to get the best picture quality out of TV's and monitors and what we need to invest in to make that happen! What sort of settings we should change, what kind of products help make adjustment easier, what websites we can use for references. It will probably be a decently long video, but getting the most out of a screen is something a lot of people would find useful!
It will be great to see the comparison for all different mode that each monitor or TV have (maybe just the major one).
Idea:
LED lighting options; mainly for shooting photography and video on a budget. What to look for, what to look out for.
That would rock.
The X-box One S (at least used to) display a very dark picture for 4K movies. I had to put my TV in 'Vivid' mode for movies like "Pacific Rim" to look good.
There are some people out there that do like seeing the Soap Opera Effect in Movies. There are some filmmakers like Ang Lee. Who are shooting movies in HFR. Which is 120fps.
Idea for next episode: How to flash a custom image to your smartphone.
My 2009 Toshiba Regza does the same thing when you set it in 'movie' mode. I pretty much leave it in 'movie' mode.
As fast as possible: "quadrature amplitude modulation" in cable transmission. Do it Linus :p
Btw if anyone was wondering, the song played during the beats part is enter the void
You may have done some of this already, but it would be nice to see a video giving the TLDR on different display technologies and their pros and cons. For example, explaining what TFTs are in a display and comparing the different types, like amorphous silicon vs. low-temperature polycrystalline silicon vs. IGZO and how these could "theoretically" affect your viewing experience. Another possibility would be comparing the general differences (like viewing angles, pixel response times, color accuracy, etc.) between the different LCD technologies for TN vs. VA. vs. IPS, and how these differences might make one type of display more suitable for certain work loads than another. Basically a video, or set of videos, describing the different types of display technologies that a consumer might find in today's market and how they compare to each other in order to help a viewer decide which type of display would best suit their workload, and what kind of things they should keep an eye out for while comparison shopping.
So... Is that a "precalibrated" mode? That would actually be awesome, though it's probably not gonna be useful for most situations anyway.
It's useful to turn off motion smoothing.
Love you guys, what about a video on best overall Linux OS for 2019?
I love mine!
It really does give the feel of real film!
You're talking about color correction while being over color corrected, red man
No idea what their editors are doing, this is barely watchable
@@sujimayne oof
+40k $ in camera gear and come on!
If filmmakers truly cared about filmic content than they would have funded Plasma TVs or at least a system or mode that give us 900 lines of motion resolution without SOE. Because of the sample and holds only displaying 300 lines, we have no choice but to use SOE. And BFI hardly does anything but darken the image unless SOE is involved.
Motion smoothing might not be the directors intent but neither is 300 lines.
"Big Directors"
"Ryan Johnson"
*LMAO*
Since when does BIG = GOOD ?
@@PowerStar004 I think they are talking about BIG directors and Rian is only 166 cm tall (about 5'5")...
he is still a big name director and knives out looks good . he just sucks at star wars movies. if you're going on hits to misses ratio then shamalamadingdong is far worse.
3 of 3 flops for rian does not make a big director.
It would be nice if they were sold with accurate colours or even calibrated out of the box, at least to me it makes sense to look at a screen that has a better image. This is also kind of like Game mode that turns off all the processing for better input lag.
This is the first time I'm excited and dexcited about a feature. What is happening RN?
I just hope the end result doesn't make it more bad.
I have a couple of friends with large, relatively new LG TVs and I always thought that there was something very strange about the picture. Now I know it's motion smoothing. The problem is it looks like the video is switching back and forth between 60FPS and 30FPS and it looks really unnatural. I can't be sure this is what is going on, but I'm pretty sure.
You mean IT can't be turned off in the setting menu.....???!!!!
The key word there was 'friend'. It's not my TV. They are all proud of their new TV and I'm like 'this just doesn't look right'. And now I know why. Sure, if it was my TV I'd just turn it off, but I didn't even know what it was or why. Now I do thanks to this vid.
Lol only actually finished the video as a first person on this planet, I watch in 2x speed
I only watch linus in 0,5 speed
So calibrations got so out of hand that they made a setting to turn off overdone settings...wild
Surprised game mode wasn't brought up in this video since that also turns off a lot of unnecessary processing.
I always hear that game mode is a "no processing mode" but on each display I have with it things look worse. Heck, they even sharpen the image in some cases. So I think it's not really what it claims to be.
"The factory tint setting is always too high"
Who needs that?
You "Jerry Smith"ed this comment so good
Ok... idea: The Road to 8K & how Size+Distance changes the Equation. (Small room, big room, portable)
I don't think that's really as big of an issue as people make it out to be. Screens always look better farther away. And you don't choose a tv size based on the distance you sit from it, you choose based on what your wallet will allow.
Let's be honest, this is all about motion smoothing. Directors rely on the shutter-like 24 fps of Cinema to mask shoddy choreography and visual effects. Shaky cam, an especially annoying technique that is abused in almost all tv and film nowadays, goes hand in hand with the terribly low 24 fps most directors prefer.
Peter Jackson attempted to usher in high frame rate Cinema with the Hobbit films which were available in select theaters in HFR format. It was amazing to watch this format. The films were shot with the high frame rate in mind. So smooth and the clarity was insane. Unfortunately, Hollywood revolted against this HFR idea. Filmmakers were just too used to 24fps hiding all the flaws.
Modern tv sets introduced sophisticated tech that actually adds missing frames to increase a 24fps source to 60fps. Watching most films in this mode is jarring and sometimes funny because the increased clarity and naturalness reveal the limitations of the 24fps source material. All the tricks directors use that work at such a low frame rate are exposed.
My gripe with this new "filmmaker mode" is that it amounts to nothing more than a shortcut to disable motion smoothing on your TV, thus cementing and completing the lazy director's mission to insure their high budget film's trickery is not exposed.
I would rather see an influential group of directors unite to usher in an era of HFR Cinema and do away with shaky cam forever than unite to make sure we all are stuck watching films like it's the 1900's.
24 fps is literally a couple frames above where the human eye starts to detect a shutter effect. It's stupid we are still tethered to this limitation when many cell phones can shoot 4k widescreen video at 60fps or sometimes even 120fps.
warlok9 the circus is calling you bruh

Idea interview top executives from top IT companies from around the world
Stereo VS Quadraphonic VS Surround sound setups explained. I mainly want to hear more about quad. :P
I think you're missing the biggest problem with frame interpolation. The big problem isn't frame rate (a higher frame rate looks better in all contexts, at least once you get past that psychological "this isn't what I expect" psychological resistance). The problem is that when you're inserting frames that aren't there, the algorithm has to guess what the in between frame would have looked like, and potentially remove motion blur set for a 30 fps capture. This means artifacts from whenever blur was removed, or wherever the algorithm guessed what the in between frame wrong. At best, this means half of your frames are distorted during a 30 fps to 60 fps conversion.
I think the fact that so many people leave frame rate conversion on generally despite the artifacts should signal that there's a market for higher frame rate video across the board, though.
I will stop using SVP the moment they start using watchable framerate (60+). I don't understand why they are still using that stuttery mess that is 24 FPS. Better have artifacts than "cinematic experience"
There's preference and then there's laziness. Most consumers don't pay enough attention to even know what half of the buttons on their remotes do.
Preference is not an issue, ignorance is. People spend a thousand dollars and then don't know or care to know what could make it better.
Idea: benefits of multiple subwoofers, benefits of correct placement of multi subwoofers and some ways you might try and coax the best sound out of your hifi system with your new multi sub setup! Subcrawl/phase adjustment/Rew/minidsp, things like that :)
You talked about cramming a bunch of subwoofers in the video, how about how you'd do it properly? :)
Idea: Mechanical keyboard scissor switch keyboard Butterfly keyboard membrane keyboards as fast as possible
I will not be using this feature, and turning it off if it mistakenly turns on.
Though I agree that maxing out the additional features can make literally all content look terrible, I absolutely have most of them on for almost everything, just not all the way. Motion interpolation is set to around medium, MPEG artifacts is at the lowest, sharpening is lower than medium, dynamic range is on, and high quality upscaling is on. The difference is night and day! Even my old Stargate DVDs could mistakenly be viewed as 1080p.
My next TV must have all those features, including a new one which I currently don't have: SDR to HDR, and maybe the AI upscaling if it doesn't add to much to the cost.
Thank F-ing GOD a feature like this exists. Too bad I've never seen it on any TV's I've ever used.
Just wait, when it comes out it'll just be the new game mode or movie/film mode we already have. Snake oil is a thing, unfortunately. Why would they cease their parlor tricks after all these decades.
I can hear Taran starting to revolt....
How about a quick lesson in cable management for home theater and what about that logitech controller you use how does it work and why should you choose to use it. Maybe a lesson in how to calculate how much battery backup you need for work purposes
My Sony already has a creator mode wich does this things.
As a DOP, all I want is playback at native frame rates without 2:3 pulldown. I don't even mind the vibrancy modes and such, it's hard to find an 8 bit display nowadays anyways, much less a pro 10bit one

Idea: How audio is stored? Video is as simple as pictures going one after another but I don't know how audio is stored. Thanks
Its the voltage levels of the signals, like on an oscilloscope. They correspond to the microphone diaphragm getting moved by the sound waves of you source. Usually 44100 samples (44.1khz) per second and 2 x 16 (16bit) different possible levels. Apply some compression and you are good to go.
Tech quicky idea. Choosing audio input devices. Advantages and disadvantages USB v analog amped vs nonamped. Different mic types etc.
Imagine if TV's were actually just TV's, and just, displayed what they were meant to display without messing with it. Isn't that an amazing concept?
Those are called monitors.
Shyamalan has the same number of syllables as Sebastian
Damn. I was hoping it was the other way around. I absolutely love the soap opera effect. I wanted filmmaker mode to enhance that.
As far as I know, there's no Panasonic TV's in the US. I'm waiting to see your review of a Panasonic TV with Filmmaker mode. Can you get them to sponsor it?

HERE'S AN IDEA! How about some Arduino and other electronic engineering adjacent stuff? #1 LMG application would be case mods but the applications are endless. You can basically connect anything dumb to your computer, add a sensor to anything, or move anything. Or do a bit on factory automation / PLC's!
Idea for an episode: What options are there for a cellular network interface that you can connect to a roof antenna for poor reception areas.
If the white point is set right and the gamma curve is dialed in from the factory (dE < 2) for both HDR and SDR then that'd be pretty sweet. Do the same for "game" mode as well. Although given the stuff being disable for this new mode it'd probably be fine for gaming.
Do a tech quickie all on smartphone post processing and the meaning behind smartphone camera stats like Mega Pixels and lens types. I still don’t really understand how and why the post processing varies so much and why it’s so important over the size of your camera sensor.
soooooo CRT mode "just show the image as i am getting it mode"
CRT TVs also had color saturation options, at least those from the 80s and 90s. The default saturation values were usually also too high on those.
It's more like Color TV set from 1970s mode, which had only volume and channnel switch buttons/dials.
fun fact all CRTs had brightness and Sat pots usually on the inside of the casing sometime they made tiny holes in the back for a screwdriver to adjust them but typically those knobs were only to fix aging tubes Losing power by repairmen or damaged screen to overpower a burn-in (or prevent it) I think in the 90's is when the pots stopped appearing in favor for hard set values for cheap CRTs the sony trinitrons still had them after all.
My 2010 TV came with the filmmaker mode activated by default 😂😂
Video idea: "Tech Jobs" - this could be an interesting series going through potential positions in the tech field that could be narrow for an industry/application or very broad for a generic position
It could be inter-position with 'Developer' versus an 'Architect'
Or maybe even intra-position with what's a 'Full Stack Developer' compared to an 'Application Developer'
24fps is endorsed by hollywood because it saves them money. it's not as hard to do good cgi if you can't see shit because there's a coffe break's worth of time in between every frame. back before cgi they filmed in 24fps to not use as much actual film. what deactivating motion interpolation actually does (aside from the artefacts), is just make the experience objectively worse. the whole "cinematic" feel is just something you got used to and wont miss after one movie.
How about some business software quickie? I love alteryx, and think people could be interested in the "new excel".
The best way to use the tv until Filmmakers Mode is to use Game Mode!
I like...LOVE vibrant colors.
Do a computer build for budget and mid range gamers.
turn the vibrancy up to make it look good, feel like that knowledge would be better for marvel movies
It turns on directors commentary for all content.
Make a video showing differences about regular laptop/pc bluetooth connection and a good gaming mouse usb bluetooth adapter connection...
My 100 bucks computer screen doesn’t even have all those features so it’s always in film maker mode I guess

I know a bit about it on CRT's (AKA the best monitors ever until a 3-year old holds a magnet to it),
but I have no idea how it really works on OLED, and from what I've heard the effect is quite different. Thanks!
I was using this for a while but I've stopped now as it really needs to be used in a reference environment. Generally not good for daytime viewing. It uses gamma bt.1886 which while technically correct, it tracks close to 2.4 gamma on an oled display. 2.2 gamma is standard for most content and more suitable for day time viewing as well.
Other problem being an oled owner is the instant pixel response time and the stutter from sample and hold between each frame being shown. It's just more desirable to have some de-judder from tru motion to alleviate this without introducing the soap opera effect.
Filmmaker is great to have but it's not a perfect solution for any home environment or panel type. Personally I use cinema home presets mostly now as they still target d65 with 2.2 gamma and only use the cinematic movement setting under tru motion to allievate sample and hold stutter. Some processing if implemented correctly can be beneficial rather than a detriment in my experience.
It's kinda out of date now, but what about explaining what that ReadyBoost setting for USBs on windows actually did.
Idea. The use and need of the button battery in a pc. The strange random problems that it can cause when flat. How long do they last and when is the best time to replace them.
Depends on what this filmmaker mode looks like. Current 'Film' setting on most TV's looks dim and lifeless.
And yellowish. These directors should move on from their 24 fps and almost black and white looking colors with yellowish tint.
@@anonymoustroll1549 you obviously have no idea how traditional film works. everything other than 24fps looks like total garbage
meanwhile on my cheap as crap security camera with only 30 fps oh people aren't stuttering like they are in those AAA movies.
@@snintendog directors know better than you, so just stfu
@@1901Steini wrong, they are using it simply because before it was standard because of bandwidth limitations. Also they are still using it because it's as little as what they can get away with to not look stuttery and bad and because of that video size is smaller. Obviously the difference between 24fps and 60+ is big and obviously 60+ is better
Samsung smart TV's also come with filmmaker mode now a days.

Idea: how to use dolby atmos on a pc where all screens are displayport.....
Only option i've found is to connect HDMI to the av device, and have a "dummy" screen sent to it, but sometimes stuff gets lost there, never to be found again....
If you want to use Atmos you would need an Atmos setup with a compatible AV-Receiver. Then your PC should support an optical audio output which can be connected to the AVR (if your AVR supports HDMI audio input try to use it, I can't). And of course you would need Atmos material which is hard to find unless you rip/watch movies on your PC.
I have a few year old Samsung TV with _Game Mode_ which is supposed to bypass audio processing in a similar fashion.
Turns out it does the complete opposite, the sound is overcompressed garbage. Plugging external speakers to 3,5mm/RCA jack directly from PC or Playstation bypasses that problem the hardware way.
Do a study on how long graphic cards can actually last you and how much that value is worth it? Example why not just buy a 960, 1060, 2060 every year..vs a top Ti model every 4-5 years?
