Most TVs come with this automatic motion enhancing B.S. that does the same to all your movies at home. It's done to make things stand out in the showroom, but nobody should leave it on at home. Well, maybe for watching sports. Maybe.The other issue is this was done with film years ago and nobody complained. The Hobbit was filmed digitally at 48fps, and that's where the problem comes in. Our eyes are organic and see in analogue. Something shot on film at 48fps, that's an analogue photochemical process completely natural to our brains. It's a whole massive complicated argument that we in the film business hear constantly, but it's very real. I was lucky enough to see The Dark Knight projected from film in IMAX. Whenever it switched from 35mm to full IMAX, my eyes felt this immense relief, like a cool breeze just blew across them. There was no motion blur (the whole reason to even shoot 48fps or higher), everything was crystal clear. When I saw The Hobbit in 48fps, it just looked wrong. Eventually my mind let go of the sensation, but it never was pleasing.</blockquote>
