Re: Does 100mhz really cure motion blur?

These frame interpolation things that try and smooth the motion out, I've never understood the point in them? I remember nearer the start of the decade they were trendy in CRT TVs and I always used to laugh at them in stores because of how bad it looked.

TV show producers actually try to fake the slower "film look" through manipulation, ironic that TV manufacturers are trying to fake back the "video look"!

Anyway it was the 100hz option that turned me off the M73, I was testing the option with HD StarWars TFM and it had this strange unnerving effect of lifting the chacacters out of the action and undoing the sterling work that ILM had done in integrating their characters into their CGI
Exactly, it makes it look more like a home video doesn't it?

Mars2003, does this type of processing still have the problem where things like channel logos and scrolling text along the bottom of the screen confuses the system? It's hard to describe but the motion processing nonsense will shift the logo or said text around the screen at times.
