How come some new TV's movies look like homevideo or a play?

Post by holaback »

Like i"ll be at best buy and the latest tv playing a blu-ray movie the movie looks like hd home video and lost the whole theatrical look to the film? Is this due to the refresh rate?

I describe as the soap opera effect. But it does look like a home video as well.

I turned this "feature" off as soon as possible on my new hdtv

So it seems even tho 120hz is supposed to be an upgrade movies look all cheap with the extra clarity.

What would this feature fall under?
