A modern panel is a complex, powerful device with a wide range of capabilities. Human beings are diverse and even an individual's preferences can change over time. It's right that there are settings for this stuff.

What isn't right is that instead of using standard terms common across manufacturers and clearly related to what the settings actually do, manufacturers expect anyone who wants to change them to reverse engineer what Dynamic TruScungle means, how it interacts with Active ProHorngus and whether 100 means the ProHorngus is turgid or flaccid.



What else isn’t right is when the setting is hidden four submenus down and the settings is covering the whole movie.

Let me toggle the settings easily while the picture is displayed, so I can understand what it actually affects.


This article is timely because we just setup our new cyber Monday Samsung TV. The screen was on for about 2 seconds before I recognized the frame interpolation. We spent a good 15 minutes going through the settings to find what we thought was doing it and seeing how it looked. Hate that they turn this shit on by default.

Even worse is I’m always the one who notices it when no one else does. It’s immediately obvious to me and everyone else is going “I don’t see what you’re talking about”, drives me bonkers. And then trying to find the setting to make me happy takes too long.


I feel you, I have the exact same experience. I always see this and I'm bothered by it, yet most of the time nobody else sees it and it's hard to really convey to other people what you mean.


I get irrationally mad at frame interpolation! :-D
