Your TV is Ruining Movies

Posted on DateAugust 27, 2012 |

Stu Maschwitz, writing for his blog at Prolost, comments on the sad truth of tv calibration:

Maybe you got a new TV for Christmas. Or maybe you just got one recently. Maybe you are thinking of buying one. Whichever is the case, take heed: your TV will try very, very hard to make whatever movies you watch on it look not just bad, but aggressively, satanically, puppy-drowningly bad.

When I got a new LED tv a few years ago, the first thing I did was turn off the motion smoothing as I felt it looked garish and unnatural. I also turned the color settings to “Natural”.
