Filmmaker mode striking a blow against motion smoothing

It eliminates the option to engage HDR 10 and Dolby Vision really?

Whaaa? Does that imply that filmmakers don't consider HDR to be a part of their intended vision?

Filmmaker Mode overrides the HDR image, and changes it to a more theatrical look. The first thing you'll notice is that it's darker.

No. All I'm saying is that I just don't like the way it look. Some people like it, and some don't. It's based on personal preference. To me, it makes the picture too dull.

The first part just doesn't sound right to me either. What would make sense to me is if turning on filmmaker mode engages BFI (because BFI deals with motion blur like a film projector does, not with interpolation), which would cause a very noticeable reduction in brightness. Theoretically this could be easily counterbalanced by upping the backlight, getting you back to the same brightness you had before.

Are you sure you're not just seeing the results of BFI getting turned on? That causes a big drop in brightness, and if it's an OLED or other brightness-challenged display, it could be so bad you can't compensate for it.

It's a possibility. I don't like to make drastic changes to my video settings, especially with the HDR and Dolby Vision, which I leave all of the additional enhancements turned off.

i love the way people are blaming motion blur on everything except the actual cause. Sample and hold technology on LCD based screens.

You all killed plasma because you wanted your screen to be the size of a house with brightness that burns your eyeballs.

You made your bed....

HDR is an effect ive never witnessed in any Cinema in the past 35 years.
