I was a Best Buy last week and saw a 40" samsung 120hz tv with a 25,000:1 contrast ratio running a 120hz with a blue ray player running pirates of the carribean. It was so clear and perfect it looked fake, like silly soap opera cinema. In fact I thought it was un-edited raw extra features or something because it had lost the "cinema" look. But as I watched for a few minutes I realized it was the normal film rolling. I can't believe how different that film looked. I asked the salesman why that film looked so different on that particular demo display and he said because it was running at 120hz.
That seems weird to me, like the hz refresh wouldn't matter that much?
Any one else seen this? Where a movie looks so good as to almost be distracting because it loses the cinema/film look? What causes that? Is it the super high contrast ratio? 25,000 to 1? The refresh rate - 120hz? The quality of the 1080p display?
I've never seen another display ever that was that clear - and the 40" display was only about 2,200 or so. I was amazed and a little disturbed because you could see EVERYSINGLE pore/blemish whatever on their skin and it looked like real life - not a movie/tv.
In fact I was a bit dumbstruck that Kierra Knightly looked more like a real typical woman rather than the god of beauty she seems at the theatre!
