OLED Stuttering: Your Worst Vintage Movie/TV Show Nightmares

[chane]

I was all set to buy the Sony A95l OLED TV. Then I the Rtings.com review, and about how all non-CRT TVs have stuttering-but that OLED TVs stutter the most. I didn’t even know that problem existed-and that it’s most noticeable during slow moving scenes. So, I’m curious about which of your favorite movies stutter most on your OLED TV.

CRT and Plasma dont stutter.

With todays TVs you have to choose between blur on LEDs or Stutter on OLEDs.

When I went from Plasma to OLED, I read about this issue and was concerned, but I honestly have never noticed it. I don't doubt that it exists and that there are people who could point it out to me when it occurs, just nothing I have seen where my untrained eyes noticed it as being different from what I was used to with plasma.

It's that kind of thing that's very subjective in how we experience it. Some people are much more sensitive to it than others. You're one of the lucky ones who don't really notice/aren't bothered by it, which means you can just use your OLED TVs without worry.

Never noticed it during slow moving scenes. For me stutter annoys when it's a combination of a high camera shutter and movement.

It's only on low frame rate content like 24p. Higher frame rates refresh enough that it's a non-issue.

The A95L will have good motion settings to compensate. Set Motionflow to 1, and it smooths out stuttering without giving SOE.

Jurassic Park was good in some scenes, and bad in others.

I have not either ever noticed any stuttering on my Sony 4K OLED tv in the years I have had it and I have watched hundreds of hours of film/movies. No different in that respect from the Plasma tv I had for many years a decade or so ago.

But some people are very sensitive and may notice things most people don't.

According Vincent Teoh that is how 24fps movies look on a TV which can be seen best when there is fast response like OLED/ some LCDs. So when you see motion issues it is 24fps movies related..it is not the TV. He stated that plasma's phosphor decay hides 24fps motion issues. Also you can notice motion issues and not be bothered by it. There also is stuff like film grain which is horrible but folks just overlook it when watching movies. In general people overlook TVtech/ content flaws that is why so many watch lots of poor quality content and think it looks fantastic. Everybody felt color TV and SD was fantastic no exceptions there.... It is all in the head.

i cant bring myself to buy ANY of Camerons films on 4k

[oddbox83]

Mind you, he fixed the stuttering for Avatar…

Film grain is not a 'flaw', it is the image, without the grain the film stock would have no image. What is truly awful is the digital camera look which is why some production add fake film grain to get rid of its sterile look.

Any competently done 4k scan and mastering will resolve the film grain quite well.

Film grain is suppost to be in a movie so looks like a movie and not like cheap cr*p.. ''sterile'' as you call it. You can see it very well in stuff like large areas of air in a movie scene when you focus on such detail while watching a movie..and it looks like cr*p also. Want to add that there are models like Samsungs that suppress film grain. I think overal TV technologies like LCD and OLED having a way to clean look for movies as it is so i guess they should put in lots of extra grain for those...lol

*It is an optical effect, the magnitude of which (amount of grain) depends on both the film stock and the definition at which it is observed. It can be objectionably noticeable in an over-enlarged film photograph.

[Deadend45]

Lol. No amount of anti-science changes the fact Film grain is the image, without the grain the film stock would have no image.

Grain haters should just stick to watching CG cartoons which ironically is far more likely to have Stuttering then anything shot on film but I guess thats what they deserve. haha

LG OLEDs have a nice feature [real cinema] that duplicates each from 5 times in 24fps content so it plays back at 120hz which helps reduce some of that stutter.
