Dejittering, maybe? We use that term to describe taking the jiggling (jitteriness) out of images due to spacecraft motion.

Ah, wait, google. Dejuddering. Similar concept.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Judder, yes. Also apparently some people call it the "soap opera effect", quick googling indicates.

Holy, Christ, THAT'S what happened when we watched Thor on vacation! We watched it on the huge TV in the master bedroom, and it looked totally different than it normally does, and the only way I could describe it was to say it looked like the way a soap opera was filmed.

Because books.

Oh, I hate that look.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

watched Thor

Ah, Loki:

Not what I was expecting! Except I do know you, Sara.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Ah, Loki

Trick!

I seriously think the Avengers DVD is going to push me to buy a BluRay player.

Ha! I already did, and that is exactly why. Haven't hooked it up and watched anything yet. Now I'm scared of the dejuddering.

My favorite new stress relief is correcting the grammar and word choice of people on TV, out loud, in a really snotty voice. Sad, but it works.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It doesn't look like that to me!

I mean, it did at the start--I hated it and wanted my old TV back, but I love how it looks now, so the only solution is for bon to put in a catheter and hunker down in front of the beast. After a day or two of solid watching, she'll be rewired appropriately.

I mean, I actually went through the blur and judder settings--it has a demo where it's on auto for half the screen and off the other, but once I'd acclimated to it, I couldn't se the difference.

But I'm also the sort who can't tell the difference between flicker rates on monitors, so my eyes are just slutty.
