If you’re watching one of the best Disney Plus movies and want to honour the true look of how a director intended their film to be experienced, you really should go for Filmmaker Mode.
Yet if you fully embrace maxed out motion smoothing, you’ll be instantly hit by the dreaded ‘soap opera effect’ - a galling visual experience that can make even the most cinematic silver screen masterpieces look like an episode of Beverly Hills, 90210.
LG, Panasonic, Philips, Vizio and Hisense all have TVs on the market with a variation of this mode, and there’s now even a Dolby Vision Filmmaker mode for movies with Dolby Vision HDR.
Technically, motion smoothing can help making quick panning shots in some of the best Netflix movies look that little slicker, true.
Turns out, my eyes really like what many TV experts would consider an oversaturated picture.
