Question

Disney Movies look bad

Jan 18, 2015 10:36AM PST

I have a brand new UN60H7150. I have watched dozens of animated movies hundreds of times with my son on my old plasma and they look great. On the new LED, however, the animation lines are always jittery and there is constant ghosting. Turning on smooth motion makes it lose the filmic 24 fps and makes the movie look odd. Is this just the nature of the beast? If so, how could plasma be a dying technology?

Why keep it? It's an obvious gaffe in the motion processing and I take it calls to the seller and maker fell flat. For me I turn all motion processing off. I know the folk that write this software are proud of their work but for me it fails to deliver too often.

Too late to return it and too lazy to put it on craigslist. But with Panasonic done with plasmas, and only LG and Samsung left in the game, I imagine there won't be a choice anymore in a couple of years.

I turned on Game Mode the other day which turns off some processes and increases motion speed and that seemed to help...a little.

Look in the BD Player for any "enhancements."

Both in audio and video. I keep turning those off. I apologize if I hurt some programmer's feelings here.
