Your TV finds lots of ways to adjust your picture. You might not want any of them.
Motion smoothing, sharpening, brightness, contrast, and saturation are all adjustments that your television makes to your picture. These can differ wildly from what filmmakers intend and, sometimes, that’s a nightmare.
As the above video shows, these adjustments are subtle but significant, especially when viewed alongside the original image. Fortunately, there is a solution - TV manufacturers have begun adopting new modes like “Filmmaker Mode,” which largely remove television tweaks to an image.

Want to see what a movie looks like when it’s shot and displayed at a high frame rate intentionally? Gemini Man was famously shot at a higher frame rate than normal, and it played in some theaters at 120 frames a second. Online, you can find clips of the 60 FPS version, like this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vX2vsvdq8nw.html

It was so bad that I had to stop a few minutes in and look through the settings until I found a way to turn off the adjustments. My parents had somehow never been fussed by it, but when we started playing the film again the way it was supposed to be shown, my mom said, "Oh, wow, I see what you mean."

@josephseamons3895 Год назад

Ironically, you just completely proved the point the video was getting at. The reason you're complaining about things being too dark and the sound being too variable is because you're not using the correct screen or audio setup for what you're watching. Your screen likely doesn't have enough dynamic range to show what the filmmakers intended. The sound is interesting - most movies are mastered for Dolby 7.1 surround sound. This means that there will very likely be an entire speaker, at the minimum, dedicated to the dialogue. You're probably playing sound out of stereo speakers, while still having some "surround" setting turned on - this means 7 tracks of audio are getting crushed into two, and obviously quiet things won't be able to beat the loud things.

@justGoscha Год назад

I got too tired to explain this to people or complain about TV settings. You are always the odd one if you do this, even if you offer to fix it. Now that these videos are coming out from public figures I hope people finally adopt it. Unfortunately there is still the type of people that insist: "The higher frame rate the better. The directors intention doesn't matter. What matters is fluid motion." Especially for animation, where sometimes it is supposed to be choppy to have a greater impact. And interpolation can simply not draw inbetween animation with intention.

@frankthetankricard Год назад

Interpolation being bad aside, there's also the argument about 24 fps vs native 60+ fps footage having a completely different feel. At 24 the motion is reasonably smooth and going higher you lose the cinema feel that has been intentionally kept through decades of evolution of film production. Smoother motion beyond a point is not strictly better, only different.

@maildaemon Год назад

@@frankthetankricard In the same vein, it's not strictly _worse,_ either. I feel that some are returning to cinema gatekeeping when they say so. Art is subjective.

@PouyaMan Год назад

me be the one who cares about PQ but don't mind the interpolation if it's not too severe. I in fact sometimes prefer the more fluid look than the choppy nature of 24hz (I know, I know). Edit: I'd also like to add that I grew up with home video and CRT TVs for watching most of movies. Very few cinema sessions. As such for me 24fps doesn't have any particular feel, it just feels juddery. Goes to show that a big part of the 24fps argument is just pure nostalgia/we are used to it. And to go against the argument of "you wouldn't change a chef's creation", I absolutely would! if I don't like the taste of a food I order, I'm self conscious enough to adjust it to my liking without prejudice... 😅 And finally, there is some merit to the default setting of TVs, most people don't watch movies in light controlled rooms. A lot of dark scenes look horrible during daylight with lots of reflection. If default is cinema mode, a lot of TVs will get returned for has PQ. Sometimes we have to put our snobbery aside and understand most people simply don't care about intention of director and just want to watch their movies and enjoy them.

TV's should definitely tackle the sound of movies better... I absolutely understand that the best way to view a movie is with a proper speaker setup, but most people can't afford that or don't even know how to do it. TV's have speakers right out the box and they should account for making a movie sound properly. Usually I have to either suffer though really loud music in order to hear what people are saying in a dialogue or turn on the subtitles and never really hear what they say.

@Doug_Hannon Год назад

Its also worthwhile to note (that wasnt really in this video) is that TV has wildly different hardware than film/projector setup like in a theatre.

For anyone wondering how to get the best image quality out of your set without having to spend money on professional calibration (or equipment to do it yourself), the general rule of thumb is to set your picture mode to whatever your TV's equivalent of the "Film" preset is (film, movie, cinema, etc.), turn off all enhancements, anything related to motion or "smoothing," set the color temperature to whatever the warmest setting is (if it isn't already; most film modes do this by default) and turn the sharpness down to 0 (again, if it isn't already). If you have a newer, higher-end display, it may have a "Filmmaker Mode" or ISF presets (the ones on my LG CX are lebaled as "ISF Dark Room" and "ISF Bright Room." These are generally the most accurate presets you can get, so they're your best bet if image quality and accuracy is of prime importance to you.

This problem really needs to be addressed more often. Filmmaker-mode is relatively new, and while it is awesome on tvs that have it, it is not the end of the story. Firstly, most people never bother to look into the settings at all, figuring the manufacturer has pre-set the display optimally, and for this reason I think filmmaker modes should be the default setting. Worse, tvs like the samsung in this video use still have sharpening on by default, and even have an "eco brightness" mode which automatically adjusts brightness based on ambient room lighting. Really, manufacturers know how to optimally tune their products, but instead juice up colors and motion to better sell at big box stores like best buy, where all consumers see is brightness, color, and contrast, with little to no regard for accuracy.

It's really confusing to see everyone taking a dump on interpolation when 60Hz TVs and monitors technically can not recreate 24fps (much less 23.967fps), and the motion just ends up being uneven and choppy because it periodically has to show the same image for longer to sync up the screen refresh rate to the movie. Coming from gaming where we now laugh at 30fps and hearing this video just say "we're not used to it, so it shouldn't exist" doesn't make much sense to me. I understand 60 fps out of the studios would require a lot more money and effort, so wishing for that is a lost cause, but saying you shouldn't try to mask the obvious incompatibility between content and device without offering a better solution is not gonna work. I agree that there should be a way to make the TV show everything truly 1:1, and I did calibrate my sets the best I could for true color, gamma and contrast(I especially hate dynamic contrast when the brightness changes every time I open the menu, so it's for sure doing some shenanigans it shouldn't). That being said, motion interpolation is an imperfect solution to a real problem. P.S. I have no problem with 24fps in cinemas

I agree that TV makers are overdoing it, but just show it like the filmmaker intended is not a straightforward solution. People usually don't watch movies in a perfectly dark room on reference displays worth tens of thousands of dollars but in rooms with a lot of daylight on comparatively bad TVs. But even if you have a pretty good TV and watch your movies in dark rooms you don't see the file that came out of edit, you see the version that went through your streaming provider who applied as much compression as they could get away with. So TV manufacturers have to get creative if they want to make sure the watching experience is still passible.

@HardStickman Год назад

Yes this. You can see it in their Dune example or with the infamously dark Game of Thrones episode. Sometimes when movies are made for the theaters or checked on perfectly calibrated monitors, they don't match up in people's actual living rooms.

If I set the brightness over the top, I might see something but it still not become a good image. I always find very pedantic when a movie maker blame the user for its TV settings, when they make their films intentionally too dark, it might look awesome on a studio monitor but they forget money is a limitation us mere mortals have to deal with ... and even all theaters are not made equals, and you have no control over the settings there

@opusmaximum Год назад

So in short your argument is: Because the content you see on your TV has been processed so much already, the TV manufacturers have no choice but to overprocess the image even more? And turning 24fps into 60fps does exactly what in this case?

I agree with the fact that most default TV settings are a complete disaster, especially the dynamic mode. Just a little bit of criticism: As is the case with most things, the way it's "intended to be experienced" isn't necessarily the way people want to experience something. "You are doing this wrong" doesn't apply as long as you are given the choice to experience something in its original vision (which should probably be the default) and are offered other options - a brighter environment (or bad vision) could force you to raise the brightness/sharpness and some people might just enjoy motion smoothing, for example. The steak analogy/comparison would be good if Filmmaker Mode didn't already exist, but with its existence the waiter adding ketchup to the steak would have to be replaced with the person ordering the steak, adding ketchup themselves. Some people want ketchup on their steak, as questionable as that might be.

@glorytogut Год назад

I agree. And the same thing can be said about the act of listening to music. Not everyone prefers (or can afford) listening to music on expensive hi-fi sound systems. Some might enjoy the tinny, lo-fi quality of some headphones or the over-the-top bass-boosting of other headphones. As an artist, I do understand the frustration of the director's vision not being aligned with how consumers tend to consume. Then again, the consumer probably doesn't share the same senses as the director, to begin with. What I mean by that, is that it would be naïve to think that ALL consumers perceive the director's art in the exact same way that the director can themself. Not everyone has a trained, creatively tuned eye or ear. That's why the director is the director, and the consumer is the consumer. In the end, taste is highly subjective, and gatekeeping is not very cool. Conclusion: To each their own, I guess?

I'm not sure if it's because of the frame rate itself or motion blur from the slow shutter speed that typically accompanies it.

Thankfully on my LG OLED the “Cinema” mode was already mostly colour calibrated and turned off most of the garbage out of the box. “Standard” was indeed awful, and way too blue.

Frustratingly, the 24fps PRESERVATION option has a name very similar to the motion smoothing option, but that must be left ON if you don’t want 24fps to be displayed at 60. Having an industry standard name for the mode which does everything I want is definitely going to be a step up, as even my experience was a bit frustrating and befuddling, and mine was definitely better than most.

What puzzles me about the filmmaker mode though is the brightness. I have trouble reading street signs in the picture for example, that I can read with a higher brightness setting.

That got me wondering if it is actually supposed to have this low brightness or if this could be an Oled-TV-issue.

@BattleBladeWarrior Год назад

A lot of the time, you have to play with the brightness AND the contrast. If you just turn one up or down you can start blowing out the picture where it doesnt look right, but if you adjust the two together, you should be able to find the right balance between the darkest and lightest scenes. For example, if a scene is supposed to be pitch black, or has sections of the film in deep shadow, try to adjust the contrast/brightness and make sure your black looks as close to the "black bars" at the top and bottom of the screen as you can. Usually, if you match that up, all the other colors should look right as well.

@kaitlyn__L Год назад

If it’s HDR content, it has to be tone mapped to the OLED’s max brightness, which isn’t a consideration for laser projectors or LCD TVs. Eg the 1000nit max can be reached for small objects like muzzle flashes, but for bright daytime scenes it needs to be clamped down to 300-500. But you want to preserve all the ratios within the scene rather than just halfing everything. So each TV is a bit different in how it handles it…
