I would like to know how to change that setting! No way I'll be able to find that discussion in the wilds of Natter.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It's motion interpolation. Here are how various tv brands call it: [link]

Samsung calls it "Auto Motion Plus 120 Hz". You're saying there's a way to disable it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What Samsung do you have Jon? My set actually has a demo setting where you can see the difference between this magic setting on and off (imperceptible to me). I can see where that is later.

Yeah, I should've checked before posting. I've got that same demo setting and I just tried it. I'm not 100% convinced that's the problem, but it could be. I've disabled the Auto Motion Plus for now and will try it some more later on. Thanks!

You're definitely not alone--I complained about it when I first upgraded my TV to 1080 (and, I think, when I first went to HD) that everything looked like soap operas, and all the corners were lit and depth of field seemed entirely blown to hell, since everything was clearly visible.
The acclimation the first time round wasn't so bad, but for a while this time round I thought quasi-seriously about downgrading back to the TV that was still there, unplugged, in my living room. Things that were meant to be 1080 looked pretty good (excellent, even, maybe), but DVDs of stuff like La Femme Nikita--like I was watching on a computer whose video driver settings were out of whack, and then DVD of Supernatural were popping when they needed to be lurking.
And then, one day, I looked at my screen and I loved my boys and everything was okay. Bon was relegated to the arena of people who were on crack, and all's good with the world.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
When I got my HDTV, it took me about six months before I stopped obsessing about everyone’s pores.

I still have waves of "how the fuck do the Winchesters not look even a little bit like ass under this microscope". But I'm battling gallantly through this.
