The 120Hz / "soap opera effect" is a matter of perspective. I hate the judder and blur during 30Hz camera pans. Love interpolated smoothness.

I was a huge fan of the high-framerate Hobbit films. It made the huge battles much easier to follow and I felt like I picked up a lot more of the details. Such a shame it never had a retail release.
Never mind the battles and action scenes, just any scenes with normal movement of the camera.
There is a lot of panning in the initial scenes of The Hobbit (opening scene is the fall of Erebor). I watched that movie initially with the new higher frequency, and everything was soooo smooth. When I rewatched it, every single time I have to experience the terrible, terrible choppy, hard-to-see-anything lower frequency transformations and I cry. This is the 12st century, and the movies can't even pan across some landscape smoothly?
In that first viewing I saw everything in those caves, it was so easy. Oh how I miss that.
It's really infuriating that after decades of dealing with the implications of NTSC video systems not supporting 24 FPS the Blu Ray designers chose not to support 48 FPS even though 60 FPS is supported.
It seems to be different for everyone. My wife and her Dad don't even notice the smoothing affect. It drives me and my brother absolutely fucking nuts on the other hand. It makes things basically unwatchable for me, it's so distracting.
If they don't notice then they won't notice when you turn it off.
Same. I actually was fine watching 24/30FPS on an older TV, but on the 120Hz screen it just looks incredibly juddery without a little motion smoothing.
I don't mind natively high framerate, but I can't stand interpolation
Same here. I really hope that the movie industry gets over the stigma and moves to higher frame rates appropriate for fast action and panning shots. Doesn't look like it will happen any time soon though - even the few high frame rate movies there are don't get high frame rate home video releases.
wouldn’t something like Black Frame Insertion also fix that?
Completely insane.
