LedRush Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 The picture is so different. I feel I need to immerse my self into understanding the various picture settings and when to adjust them. Last night I watched an episode of Battlestar Galactica '78. The series was remastered for BluRay. The space scenes with models and FX look great. The scenes with people on set looked almost live, like video tape, soap opera like. Set pieces are seen in detail unknown to me before, "oh my that is made out of wood"? You have to turn off the motion smoothing. Type in "how to turn off soap opera effect for" and then whatever your TV model is and you'll have plenty of results. You might want motion smoothing for sports or big action movies, but never for anything where humans are just standing/walking and talking. I never use it, personally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to dig into the settings to turn it off. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every company uses a different term for "motion smoothing", so that's why I suggested the google search above....users all know the problem of the soap opera effect.

Fordgalaxy Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 LG has announced it will begin selling the first 8K television later this year. As of now there is only one size (I believe) at 88 inches. It will initially retail for about $42,000 but they're taking pre-orders this month and you can get one for about $34,000 plus a free air purifier. That's quite a bargain, innit?

They certainly expect us to junk all our 4K TV’s and 4K Blu-rays.....and go all 8K! Ain’t gonna do it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who is not stinking rich that would pay that much for a tv is insane. I was checking about a year ago for a new tv online at a local furniture store and they had a 100" Sony television for $80,000. I couldn't believe it. I think that it is safe to say that they do not keep those tv's in stock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And current entertainment media (Blu-rays, cable, over-the-air broadcasting, etc.) is still trying to catch up to the 4K technology. It's years away from 8K. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's years away from 8K.In one of the episodes of Baskets with Zach Galifianakis he buys a 4k tv and is showing it off to his girlfriend and telling her how amazing the picture quality is with 4k. He then tells her that they can't actually watch anything in 4k because they haven't really released any media in that format yet.
