High definition tv is taking television viewing to another level. If we consider for instance the following tv with 1080p, 3,000,000:1 contrast, 240Hz. The definition is so high that it is possible to see the difference between very well executed special effects and the weaker special effects. One can tell how the green screen is used so that the magic that the special effects was trying to create is lost. The better special effects such as Avatar hold up well under the scrutiny of high definition and the avatars actually look even more real. Some people find the HD television is too distracting.The whole story can be found at http://michaeledwardkelly.com/2011/07/03/in-which-a-terrible-special-effects-video-on-youtube-got-me-thinking/ The quality is fantastic but the picture looks “too real” . It resembles a super hi-res video than a film. The end result is everything has an animated look which can be quite distracting. This can be controlled by using motion enhancement settings instead of normal settings.
The Motion Enhancer or AMP can also be turned off, it may also help to adjust the backlight, contrast and color settings… a too vivid setting actually “adds” too much to the picture.
Keep three things in mind when buying an HD tv:
Price
Picture quality
