Also doesn't help that a lot of TVs have screen tearing or uneven frame timing. You would think that a device whose sole purpose is to divine a picture from wagging pixies in the air and make the little lamps twinkle in a convincing way would be able to do it by now. But I have yet to find a "smart" TV that can handle it decently, even well into the mid range it's still a bit hit and miss. Get a cheap decoder and plug it into any mid range laptop and the pacing is leagues better. Do they just use the absolutely worst SoC that still turns enough product to pay the bills, or what?
