The "Soap Opera Effect" Is usually more pronounced from running at a frame rate higher than 24fps.
For some reason we've become accustomed to 24FPS as realistic, and the smooth motion on a 120hz screen is jarring.
- phn 11y agoThere is a theory that a thing so smooth as 120hz falls in the "very real but not quite real" case, or the Uncanny Valley. Whereas 24fps tells our brain we're clearly watching a movie and so it's ok. Just like those highly realistic dolls from Japan where you can tell something is wrong but you can't quite put your finger on it.
