How Your TV Ruins Movies
Morning Movie Watchers!

Ever notice this on your TV??
Weirdly smooth..
Strange artifacts..
It's because of a hidden setting that ruins everything you watch.
Let me show you how to fix it.
So imagine you're at Best Buy looking for a new TV...

And you see this gorgeous, vibrant display...


Haha thanks Derd.
But in the store - brightness, saturation, contrast... it’s perfect!


So you buy it and go home to watch Dune.
But something's wrong:

The colors are way too bright! The contrast is cranked up!

You’re right.
They wanted this. The standard for most movies:

24 frames per second.
Where you stitch 24 photos together and they turn into... video.
That's the standard movie.
But hidden in your TV's settings is this nasty thing:

A setting to make a TV look fancier in the store.
But now it takes those 24 frames the cinematographer shot, and tries to smooth them out into 60!

Which means making up frames that never happened!
So you get these weird artifacts:

So how do you fix it??


Filmmaker mode turns all the crap off.
This is just ONE part of my full story on why everything looks SO old now.
