I just got a new (to me) TV and realized it was interpolating. I'm not too bothered by the soap-opera effect in general. But the first football‡ game I watched on it made me turn it off in a hurry. The ball seemed to disappear when it was passed. The motion smoothing algorithm somehow ghosted it right out of the picture, so that it appeared to leave the QB's hands and magically teleport to the receiver.
‡ Gridiron Football
- to3m 11y agoFor anybody else that might otherwise have to look it up: Gridiron Football is American Football. The name comes from the layout of the pitch, which looks nothing like a gridiron (which appears to be a type of portable grill). There's probably a joke in there somewhere.
- function_seven 11y agoIt looked like a gridiron 100 years ago. Field changes, name stays the same. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gridiron_football#/media/File:Football_Diagram_1904.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gridiron_football#/media/File:...
