Motion Flow looks like a hologram, I still want it - Blu-ray Forum

razor29 · 03-30-2008, 07:05 PM

Just came back from my local circuit city where I went to look at the 605 and the 705 Onkyo recievers. And saw a Samsung 52" with a 120hz on display playing POC 2. I have read some post on motion flow and how the picture looks fake. Well it does to me almost like a hologram but it does look nice. Either this or the Sony will next my next set.

I know exactly which ones you're talking about. I visit CC and BB quite often when I'm bored and never get tired of looking at the Sony Motion Flow and Samsungs Auto-Motion Plus. Only if I would've waited a little longer, I could've gotten either of those. But then again, something better will come along and put them to shame.

Not sure of the model but it displayed in the room where all the receivers are mounted on the wall. Picture was amazing, I kinda felt a little bumped going home and watching movies without the 120hz. To, me it adds another wow factor to you movies. Oh, same thing that was a lil funny, a couple was there looking at the movies also. So, the lady asked the guy(circuit city employee) do you need a blu-ray player to get the movie to show that clear. What he say, no you can play them on your dvd player, but to get that picture you need a blu-ray player. I just smiled and keep my mouth shut adn let him talk.

the model was most likely the newest Samsung 52"... I'm not sure the model number (its not on the samsung Canada site so i can't look it up) but we just got it in this week and I have to say, I'm not a samsung fan but i was impressed

It gives the picture almost a 3D effect, At first, it got some getting used to, but now I never shut the "Auto Motion Plus" off. There are three different settings as well as off. I uasually keep it on low, but on certian programing it looks good cranked up.

I saw two same 52" Samsung televisons together at Fry's with 2 cardboard signs on the floor.......
one is "60hz" and the other one is "120hz"
I watched "Live Free or Die Hard" on both TVs at same time......I'll say 120hz is the winner.

I'll look forward to buy a Sony with 120hz motion flow soon!!

I have it on high cranked baby! Sony Motionflow pwns all!

I've got a 40" Sammy with 120hz and love it! It's better on some movies than others, but I've found that the effect is wearing off for me. I've watched a staggering amount of blu in the last two months that I've owned it and things don't look as 3-d anymore. I certainly would say that it adds to the picture, though.
