What the heck is “Filmmaker Mode"?? 

kind of "FLAT Equalizer" on audio terms.

Idea: Why pixels can suddenly go dead on a pc monitor.

LTT video title checklist nowadays: ☑️ a question ☑️ the word "heck" ☑️ two question marks

Holy crap the color is terrible on this video... Deep Fried Linus will now haunt my dreams, thanks editors!

I work for a TV/Monitors company's tech support line, and I gotta say, I sometimes use your videos to learn or explain to colleagues what certain features are. Your videos rock! :D

Now there is only one thougt in my mind: Are there any mechanical RGB TV-remotes?

Idea for episode: maybe talk about how to connect multiple Bluetooth devices and have them all play at same time

Would love to see a video on "How many different Operating Systems Can We Cram Into 1 PC" going all the way back to DOS. Try to set a world record.

suggestion: When the computer crashed, why does it mostly repeat a really small part of the sound it last played?

It's interesting to see this, and I thank you Linus for bringing a little light to the subject. Any 'modern' TV I have purchased I have pretty much gone into the menu and turned off most of the enhancements and simply adjusted color to my taste. The Filmmaker Mode may work, but it seems that every panel I have is set differently to achieve what suits me.

3:26 Maybe that's why LG calls it "Soccer mode", at least on some of their older TV models.

It makes you a moviemaker clearly.

1:53 shows LG tv with Samsung remote control. 100% Linus!

For those that don't know, when calibrating your TV for movies, the goal is to calibrate the color as best/close to, to match the color spectrum standard that filmmakers usually use to film their movies movies with, like rec709.

Wow, Linus is looking overly smooth today.

Im onboard for this! First thing I do with a tv is turn off smooth motion and desaturate the image a bit. Hopefully this Filmmaker Mode can be added to older tvs firmwares and would just appear as an extra item on the popup menu.

Please give us an episode on how to get the best picture quality out of TV's and monitors and what we need to invest in to make that happen! What sort of settings we should change, what kind of products help make adjustment easier, what websites we can use for references. It will probably be a decently long video, but getting the most out of a screen is something a lot of people would find useful!

Yeah in standard and nuetral mode the films stutter, film maker and movie mode its great. Plus alot of people say speakers are tinny, but in amplifier mode it sounds so much better

Idea: LED lighting options; mainly for shooting photography and video on a budget. What to look for, what to look out for. That would rock.

I worked for quite a few years for a few TV manufacturers (including one mentioned here) on support. The example that Linus gave for the smoothness helping to see the ball is the WORST example he could have chosen. Number 1 reason for people contacting support that resulted in recommendation to switch the artificial interpolation option off was because the white ball on highly contrasting dark background of the field is extremely smudgy/blurry/hard to see/leaves a huge trail behind it. There wouldn't be a single reason I would recommend the smoothing options on any TV set. It is just more and more and more interpolation layered on itself with even more post-processing on top of that to hide the interpolating effect resulting in more blur that is then countered with artificial sharpening post-processing. For as good as the hardware is in modern sets, the software has been force-fed by marketing for every single brand on the market.

Idea for next episode: How to flash a custom image to your smartphone.

It will be great to see the comparison for all different mode that each monitor or TV have (maybe just the major one).

"Endorsed by big name directors... like Ryan Johnson" lol k

The X-box One S (at least used to) display a very dark picture for 4K movies. I had to put my TV in 'Vivid' mode for movies like "Pacific Rim" to look good.

You may have done some of this already, but it would be nice to see a video giving the TLDR on different display technologies and their pros and cons. For example, explaining what TFTs are in a display and comparing the different types, like amorphous silicon vs. low-temperature polycrystalline silicon vs. IGZO and how these could "theoretically" affect your viewing experience. Another possibility would be comparing the general differences (like viewing angles, pixel response times, color accuracy, etc.) between the different LCD technologies for TN vs. VA. vs. IPS, and how these differences might make one type of display more suitable for certain work loads than another. Basically a video, or set of videos, describing the different types of display technologies that a consumer might find in today's market and how they compare to each other in order to help a viewer decide which type of display would best suit their workload, and what kind of things they should keep an eye out for while comparison shopping.

"Endorsed by big name Directors like" : Christopher Nolan [Oh yeah? cool] Ryan Johnson [ish... meh whatever...] M Night Shyamalan [OK, Linus is just trolling]

Love you guys, what about a video on best overall Linux OS for 2019?

There are some people out there that do like seeing the Soap Opera Effect in Movies. There are some filmmakers like Ang Lee. Who are shooting movies in HFR. Which is 120fps.

Btw if anyone was wondering, the song played during the beats part is enter the void

So... Is that a "precalibrated" mode? That would actually be awesome, though it's probably not gonna be useful for most situations anyway.

You're talking about color correction while being over color corrected, red man

As fast as possible: "quadrature amplitude modulation" in cable transmission. Do it Linus :p

This is the first time I'm excited and dexcited about a feature. What is happening RN? I just hope the end result doesn't make it more bad.

My 2009 Toshiba Regza does the same thing when you set it in 'movie' mode. I pretty much leave it in 'movie' mode.

It would be nice if they were sold with accurate colours or even calibrated out of the box, at least to me it makes sense to look at a screen that has a better image. This is also kind of like Game mode that turns off all the processing for better input lag.

"The factory tint setting is always too high"

"Big Directors" "Ryan Johnson" *LMAO*

Well, LG, you are very welcome to add this to the TV I already bought from you as well!

How does a "coprocessor" function verses a regular CPU processor, especially on the iPhone and iOS devices?

Idea: benefits of multiple subwoofers, benefits of correct placement of multi subwoofers and some ways you might try and coax the best sound out of your hifi system with your new multi sub setup! Subcrawl/phase adjustment/Rew/minidsp, things like that :)

If filmmakers truly cared about filmic content than they would have funded Plasma TVs or at least a system or mode that give us 900 lines of motion resolution without SOE. Because of the sample and holds only displaying 300 lines, we have no choice but to use SOE. And BFI hardly does anything but darken the image unless SOE is involved. Motion smoothing might not be the directors intent but neither is 300 lines.

Idea: Mechanical keyboard scissor switch keyboard Butterfly keyboard membrane keyboards as fast as possible

As far as I know, there's no Panasonic TV's in the US. I'm waiting to see your review of a Panasonic TV with Filmmaker mode. Can you get them to sponsor it?

I have a couple of friends with large, relatively new LG TVs and I always thought that there was something very strange about the picture. Now I know it's motion smoothing. The problem is it looks like the video is switching back and forth between 60FPS and 30FPS and it looks really unnatural. I can't be sure this is what is going on, but I'm pretty sure.

Ok... idea: The Road to 8K & how Size+Distance changes the Equation. (Small room, big room, portable)

So calibrations got so out of hand that they made a setting to turn off overdone settings...wild

I can hear Taran starting to revolt....

Lol only actually finished the video as a first person on this planet, I watch in 2x speed

I love mine! It really does give the feel of real film!

I think you're missing the biggest problem with frame interpolation. The big problem isn't frame rate (a higher frame rate looks better in all contexts, at least once you get past that psychological "this isn't what I expect" psychological resistance). The problem is that when you're inserting frames that aren't there, the algorithm has to guess what the in between frame would have looked like, and potentially remove motion blur set for a 30 fps capture. This means artifacts from whenever blur was removed, or wherever the algorithm guessed what the in between frame wrong. At best, this means half of your frames are distorted during a 30 fps to 60 fps conversion. I think the fact that so many people leave frame rate conversion on generally despite the artifacts should signal that there's a market for higher frame rate video across the board, though.

Stereo VS Quadraphonic VS Surround sound setups explained. I mainly want to hear more about quad. :P

My Sony already has a creator mode wich does this things.

I want to see a behind the scenes tech quickie video on how you go about making the faces for thumbnails. How many do you pull before you get just the right one? How many times do you or the camera crew have to stop because said face is making someone laugh?

Idea for an episode: What options are there for a cellular network interface that you can connect to a roof antenna for poor reception areas.

As a DOP, all I want is playback at native frame rates without 2:3 pulldown. I don't even mind the vibrancy modes and such, it's hard to find an 8 bit display nowadays anyways, much less a pro 10bit one

Imagine if TV's were actually just TV's, and just, displayed what they were meant to display without messing with it. Isn't that an amazing concept?

Surprised game mode wasn't brought up in this video since that also turns off a lot of unnecessary processing.

Idea: How audio is stored? Video is as simple as pictures going one after another but I don't know how audio is stored. Thanks

If the white point is set right and the gamma curve is dialed in from the factory (dE < 2) for both HDR and SDR then that'd be pretty sweet. Do the same for "game" mode as well. Although given the stuff being disable for this new mode it'd probably be fine for gaming.

Yea the screen is made out of screen

My 2010 TV came with the filmmaker mode activated by default 😂😂

HERE'S AN IDEA! How about some Arduino and other electronic engineering adjacent stuff? #1 LMG application would be case mods but the applications are endless. You can basically connect anything dumb to your computer, add a sensor to anything, or move anything. Or do a bit on factory automation / PLC's!

Video idea: "Tech Jobs" - this could be an interesting series going through potential positions in the tech field that could be narrow for an industry/application or very broad for a generic position

Let's be honest, this is all about motion smoothing. Directors rely on the shutter-like 24 fps of Cinema to mask shoddy choreography and visual effects. Shaky cam, an especially annoying technique that is abused in almost all tv and film nowadays, goes hand in hand with the terribly low 24 fps most directors prefer. Peter Jackson attempted to usher in high frame rate Cinema with the Hobbit films which were available in select theaters in HFR format. It was amazing to watch this format. The films were shot with the high frame rate in mind. So smooth and the clarity was insane. Unfortunately, Hollywood revolted against this HFR idea. Filmmakers were just too used to 24fps hiding all the flaws. Modern tv sets introduced sophisticated tech that actually adds missing frames to increase a 24fps source to 60fps. Watching most films in this mode is jarring and sometimes funny because the increased clarity and naturalness reveal the limitations of the 24fps source material. All the tricks directors use that work at such a low frame rate are exposed. My gripe with this new "filmmaker mode" is that it amounts to nothing more than a shortcut to disable motion smoothing on your TV, thus cementing and completing the lazy director's mission to insure their high budget film's trickery is not exposed. I would rather see an influential group of directors unite to usher in an era of HFR Cinema and do away with shaky cam forever than unite to make sure we all are stuck watching films like it's the 1900's. 24 fps is literally a couple frames above where the human eye starts to detect a shutter effect. It's stupid we are still tethered to this limitation when many cell phones can shoot 4k widescreen video at 60fps or sometimes even 120fps.

1:53 Did you just point Samsung remote at LG TV?

It turns on directors commentary for all content.

*CHALLENGE ACCEPTED* An entire PC workspace made from Lego Bricks! PC Case, monitor enclosure and stand, table, chair, speaker box and possibly sub! (if you are bold enough...)

Idea for episode: How to use a second PC to improve your streaming. Like how does it work exactly and how do you set it up?

soooooo CRT mode "just show the image as i am getting it mode"

Idea for episode: Clevo barebone laptops.

The best way to use the tv until Filmmakers Mode is to use Game Mode!

Wait. isn't already a thing? gaming mode? removing the image processing on TV mode, but gaming mod towards to response time of the display, not make "untouch quality"

How about a quick lesson in cable management for home theater and what about that logitech controller you use how does it work and why should you choose to use it. Maybe a lesson in how to calculate how much battery backup you need for work purposes

I will not be using this feature, and turning it off if it mistakenly turns on. Though I agree that maxing out the additional features can make literally all content look terrible, I absolutely have most of them on for almost everything, just not all the way. Motion interpolation is set to around medium, MPEG artifacts is at the lowest, sharpening is lower than medium, dynamic range is on, and high quality upscaling is on. The difference is night and day! Even my old Stargate DVDs could mistakenly be viewed as 1080p. My next TV must have all those features, including a new one which I currently don't have: SDR to HDR, and maybe the AI upscaling if it doesn't add to much to the cost.

My 100 bucks computer screen doesn’t even have all those features so it’s always in film maker mode I guess

Thank F-ing GOD a feature like this exists. Too bad I've never seen it on any TV's I've ever used.

4:58 "...get 20 bucks off of these great headphones"? OMG! My big phillips headphones costs around $6 here in India. I am using that for 1 and half year now, which sounds awesome...

Natural daylight temperature is something about from 5500K to 5600K. Can be a little higher in a cloudy weather.

Tech quicky idea. Choosing audio input devices. Advantages and disadvantages USB v analog amped vs nonamped. Different mic types etc.

So basically, it's a "stop fricking it up" mode.

Idea suggestions: what all fun things to do with a spare old-ass laptop or computer

Linus, you're excellent, your channel rocks and you deserve the success you have. That out of the way, can I make a silly viewer suggestion. I know nothing about creating what people want but here's my tuppence worth. What do you think of talking to us as if we are bright and get it and probably know some of it already. A bit more like we are adults and you're not teaching us natural? I'm just some guy. No movie making experience. So... Ha ha.

Do a tech quickie all on smartphone post processing and the meaning behind smartphone camera stats like Mega Pixels and lens types. I still don’t really understand how and why the post processing varies so much and why it’s so important over the size of your camera sensor.

Idea for episode: could you talk about MU-MIMO, there is not that much info about it

Suggestion: Why do we still not have wireless gaming peripherals that are as effective as wired ones?

When it comes to expertise in what film should look like, I trust great people like Spielberg a lot more than commercially pushed tech nerds.

Idea interview top executives from top IT companies from around the world

This video was 4 years ago. I got my current TV 2 years. My TV doesn't have filmmaker mode on it. You disappoint me again Sony.

Idea. The use and need of the button battery in a pc. The strange random problems that it can cause when flat. How long do they last and when is the best time to replace them.

IDEA: PCIe v3|4|5 lanes, increasing the "device" speed using the same number of lanes, vs. decreasing the need of lanes due to a lane's higher speed.

Do a computer build for budget and mid range gamers.

To me, this sounds like game mode.

You should do a video on the different kinds of TVs and which are the best in 2019 (e.g. QLED, OLED, LCD etc.)

Burn-in as fast as possible. I know a bit about it on CRT's (AKA the best monitors ever until a 3-year old holds a magnet to it), but I have no idea how it really works on OLED, and from what I've heard the effect is quite different. Thanks!

24fps is endorsed by hollywood because it saves them money. it's not as hard to do good cgi if you can't see shit because there's a coffe break's worth of time in between every frame. back before cgi they filmed in 24fps to not use as much actual film. what deactivating motion interpolation actually does (aside from the artefacts), is just make the experience objectively worse. the whole "cinematic" feel is just something you got used to and wont miss after one movie.

Is it really bad to pull the plug / off switch on the extension cord to turn off devices like monitors and amps?

yeah, i dont have money for a TV with a controller with that option... ;(

How about some business software quickie? I love alteryx, and think people could be interested in the "new excel".

It's kinda out of date now, but what about explaining what that ReadyBoost setting for USBs on windows actually did.

1:53 using a Samsung Remote on an LG TV... seems legit!
