I don't really agree. I think motion smoothing is a gimmick. Like 3d and curved TVs before it. It gave another metric (besides size) for manufacturers to compete on - 60hz, 120hz, 240hz etc. Motion smoothing just doesn't look better, especially when it is poorly implemented (the norm) - the motion tends to speed up and slow down, which is worse than the judder it is supposed to fix. Even properly sourced hi frame rate material looks bad - I saw the Hobbit in HFR and it was difficult to watch the seemingly fake production - my mind could no longer be tricked because there was so much detail in each second for it to reason with. Nevermind the extra lengths that Peter Jackson had to go through to properly light the film, and the extra detail needed in the set work, costumes and makeup. Change my mind!
