Frame Interpolation as part of your Purchase Decision - Multiple Choice! - Page 2

As long as I can disable it, I guess. I'd prefer a 120Hz display without it, but you can't find that nowadays.

It's impossible for interpolated frames to be of the same quality of real frames, and since even a single frame of different quality looks terrible (e.g. keyframe pumping) so MCFI also means that non-interpolated frames have to be degraded to match interpolated frames.

The only real solution to 24p is for filmmakers and disc makers to use a higher framerate. We don't need to give studios even less reason to stop overcompressing TV and lowpassing everything.

And I say this as someone with an rather high flicker fusion threshold (I've never seen a DLP without rainbow artifacts, nor a plasma without flicker and yellow flashes from phosphor decay.)

Thomas, to be honest, I am looking for a 65, which if there has ever been in the 88 series, I've never seen it. It may well be much better in the set you are looking at.

This poll is not valid to measure anything. I wish you could grasp that. First of all, the choice to respond is self selecting. Therefore it only attracts people who are interested in something called "frame interpolation", which most people have never heard of. That's called sampling bias, even going beyond the fact that this would not be a valid sample of anything on its face.

Second of all, the choice matrix in the poll makes it worse than a "push poll" which is designed to get you to take a more extreme opinion. Here, you cannot express anything negative about frame interpolation and therefore you can only choose a positive response. This is what I would loosely term a "badly constructed poll" error designed to prove that frame interpolation is highly valued.

You might conclude in error that people who don't like frame interpolation will simply select the last option in the poll, but that option doesn't capture dislike, merely neutrality.

This poll therefore is crafted to ensure it cannot elicit any negative responses and therefore is not actually a measure of any actual preference. It is a self-selecting sample where the vast majority of responses will come from people that have already chosen a preference for frame interpolation.

Since my comments inherently acknowledge that some people do in fact prefer frame interpolation, please stop with the tone that tells us "if you don't like it, turn it off". The reality is that certain posters keep bumping this thread with some kind of claim that it contains a legitimate poll, when it doesn't.

I don't care for the results of the majority of frame interpolation efforts (I'll remain open minded that someone can show me a good example of it), but this poll doesn't show that most -- or even many -- people differ from my opinion. I would suggest people stop stating otherwise, lest passers-by get an inaccurate impression. That is my agenda here.
