Went to a friend’s recently and watched some movies. He has a gigantic new top-of-the-line flatscreen TV. We watched Fargo. It looked like it was filmed with a home video camera. We watched Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. It looked like it was filmed with a home video camera. We watched Rushmore. It looked like it was filmed with a home video camera.
This is not the first time I’ve witnessed this. I can remember being at someone’s house where Game of Thrones was on and even THAT somehow looked like it was filmed with a home video camera.
My own TV, an LG 42" flatscreen, doesn’t do this, for whatever reason. But others that I see do.
It has something to do with the frame rate, from what I can discern from reading about this phenomenon elsewhere. But I can’t understand why this is…maybe I’m just dense (not out of the question by any means), can anyone here break it down for me?
