I think better examples would be the lack of motion control, unlike computers the bulk of content experienced on TVs expects to run at specific refresh rates. Innovations like OLED which offer instantaneous response rates cause issue for that media when expected pixel dimming latency is expected. Causing motion like pan shots to appear jittery. TVS need innovation that focuses on feathering motion, since it's clear the TV and Movie industry have no plans to bump frame rate.
- mattgreenrocks 5y agoThis is why I passed on an OLED when upgrading my TV. OLED is definitely the future, I just have little desire to beta test it with jittery panning. I’m sure they’ll sort it out.
- brokenmachine 5y agoMy 2017 OLED looks fantastic. Movie cinemas are dead to me now. I would never switch back to a shitty LCD. Or even a "good" LCD. I'm super sensitive to jitter as well, so your information about OLEDs being jittery is wrong.
- mattgreenrocks 5y agoThanks for the correction. I may wish I purchased a C1 after all!
- majormajor 5y agoOLED doesn't have any new issues here compared to LCD. Both sorts of TVs will often have "black frame" insertion options, but I've never found the flicker worthwhile. Smooth panning would be fixed by content being shot at something higher than 24fps, like you say; but I've seen that same jitter in theater screens for decades, it wasn't something that was designed to depend on CRT tech or such (like videogame lightguns). TVs have been doing tons of "smart" picture processing to try to smooth out motion since so much content is so low frame rate. It just often looks fake!
