sydneybrown Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 The problem with 120hz though is that it makes some TV shows that weren't shot that way look like stuff that was shot on a digital camcorder (otherwise known as the "soap opera effect.") Some people never notice it, and others are annoyed as fuck by it (myself being one of them.) But regardless, you can always turn it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 How would you turn it off? I am seriously looking at a new TV this Black Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glfpunk Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 If you watch sports and I know you do, 120 is what you want. The Vizio 55" model E550i is the one I just got and it's the one on sale for $479 for black Friday and it's got a really good picture. Even though it's 120hz it doesn't give that soap opera effect. I thought it was one of the best values on the market at $630 when I got it and at $479 it's an awesome deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydneybrown Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 How would you turn it off? I am seriously looking at a new TV this Black Friday. Every company has its own fancy name for it (on my LG it is called TruMotion) It's usually got a "motion" or "clear" name. It's in your TV settings, you can easily turn it on and off. 120 definitely can be a positive, but just be aware of its annoyances too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glfpunk Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Are they going to have a lot of them in stock you think? The one I'm talking about will be on Amazon but I don't know when. Their sales start on Sunday the 24th and go through black friday. So that TV could pop up whenever. The 60" Vizio from Walmart for $688 is one of the ones guaranteed in stock for one hour deals I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Hmmm...a good (sub $300) deal on a 39''-ish t.v. and a $29 chromecast and my wife would be in Korean soap opera heaven.

Sometimes if the TV is newer/more advanced, they'll have two separate settings so that it'll handle motion better but you can still turn down the soap opera effect. My friend got a really nice Samsung LED LCD but I guess kept the settings stock out of the box so my other friend did some ninja work to turn it off and things are much better for everyone when we go there. It's not a terrible effect when watching sports but it's hideous for movies and TV shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie20x6 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I bought a 32" Samsung LCD back in 2008. It was a 720P and I want to say that I got it for around $400+. Now, that TV sells in the low-$200's without even factoring in a sale like Black Friday. In fact, I think I only paid $50-$100 more for a 55" Samsung in 2012, when my 32" finally crapped out.

It's not a terrible effect when watching sports but it's hideous for movies and TV shows. Sometimes I actually enjoy it as a special effect. It almost feels like I'm on set watching them film the scene...like, it's so disorienting that it calls your attentions to different things...it also somehow makes the sets look really obviously fakey. It's almost like watching a stage play and suddenly you're noticing all these verisimilitude issues in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorceressKnight Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Question: I'm trying to get my mom a BluRay player for her Christmas present. Does anyone know where the best deal for this was? (I did see the Wal-Mart deals, but for what her goal is- the BluRay player HAS to have Netflix capability.) A deal on a Roku box would work as well.

Niners Fan in CT Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Yeah, I never knew exactly what it was called but I remember going over my Aunt's house and watching Paul Blart and it was hilarious with this effect. Only with that effect though. Movie itself was trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Lucia Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 As much as I want to grab GTA V and Arkham Origins...I still haven't even played my copy of GTA IV and Arkham City that I got on BF last year. Going to hold off for this year. I *am* patiently tapping my foot waiting for Amazon to put the 3DS XL on sale in about two hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Currently trying to decide whether to try for a 3DSXL from Amazon when it goes on sale in a couple hours, or just buy the Zelda bundle from Best Buy at full price ($220) and put it on my BB card to get six months on it. Edited to explain: If it's the same $150 as Target's doing on Friday, the game is $40 which means I'd be paying $30 more but amortizing it over the winter and spring instead of paying 'cash.'

Joe Lucia Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 They're not bundles, but looking at various ads, getting the system for $150 is a win, and you could probably grab whatever new games you want for $30 apiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
