Default 120 hz ... perhap too much ruin the experience>?

my tv came yesturday. It is the Phillip 47" 1080p 120hz. My first movie? the dark knight. i realized that perhap when the picture is too clear, it feel cheap in a way. I feel like i'm watching the news, i put the mode in movie but it would only help a bit. It's just so crystal clear it's sickening.

However i freaking love Wall-e, so animate is okay to be clear but when i watch a movie with real people, it just disgusting.

Maybe i should get use to this?> it's like a whole new experience good and bad all at the same time.

What your thought on this?

What you are experiencing is called "HD Natural Motion". It's a feature that all 120hz HDTV's have under one name or another, "MotionFlow" and things of that nature. Go under your settings for the TV and turn that feature off and your movies will start to look "normal" again.

No, you can. There should be an option to turn it on or off somewhere in your settings. I usually keep it on for football games, but other than that it makes things look really weird.

You should'nt turn off 120hz, only Motion Flow or Enhancement. Why because a l ot of TV do 5:5 on Blu-ray at 120hz with doesn't enhancement the motion but preserve the 24fps from the Blu-ray

Actually, no you can't. 120hz is the refresh rate of the TV so it's not something you can turn off and on. What makes Blu-rays look weird on a 120hz HDTV is the motion enhancer that's a setting on the TV (MotionFlow, Natural Motion or what have you.) that can be turned off and on.

What's the matter, you don't enjoy being "seasick"?
