I'm convinced the whole reason for the dwarf song in Bilbo's house at the beginning of The Hobbit was just to distract viewers from the HFR long enough for it to stop looking weird. And at least for me, it worked. The first few minutes of that film everything looked odd, and then the rest of the film looked great.
- seanp2k2 10y agoIMO it still looked like puppets or something and not a movie. I saw it opening night at Sundance Kabuki and it was amazingly clear, but very weird and distracting. I love gaming at 120hz but I'm fine with cinema at 24. It could be awesome for documentaries and nature-type things though, but the bandwidth requirements to do HDR 4K at 120hz seems massive, and I'm not aware of any consumer TVs which even support that right now (Vizio 2016 P series can do 120hz at 1080 but only 60hz at 4K).
- eridius 10y agoOne of the big benefits of HDR is made the 3D effect excellent. Zero eye strain, I didn't notice any ghosting effects, and overall it was a joy to watch.

The extra frames that 120Hz squeezes in between the 30Hz frames should not contain too much more information? (Ie 120Hz should use less than 4 times as much bandwidth as 30Hz.) I expect similar sublinear scaling for resolution in space.
