AMD Fluid Motion "Enable 60fps Movies"

This isn't actually a good thing, if it's better for you then that's your own opinion and all that matters but anyone serious about movie viewing wouldn't use this for the reasons stated above. Soap opera effect is a common thing I see mentioned over on avforums.

I understand what effect you talking about and I do agree I normally switch these off. But for some reason this just looks 10x better I don't get any strange effects happening.. Motion just looks smoother and better detailed in fast moving scenes.
 
Haven't tried this on my PC but I use this on my panasonic plasma TV, smart frame interpolation or whatever it is called and LOVE it, without it, films are a juddery mess especially on some scenes where it is a panning shot i.e. xmen days of future past, when they go to the white house and you get a panning shot of the building.... just awful looking. Plus the motion clarity is "clear", no blur/ghosting etc. that I can see and you can actually make out a lot of fast paced scenes with this turned on.

I am extremely sensitive to stutter though so what I notice, others don't.

On my PC, I use this:

The only reason movies are still shot in 24fps is due to legacy reasons and file size.

It's more because we've spent decades watching Hollywood films at 24fps so that's what people have become accustomed to seeing as the "Hollywood Look". Some people have tried to alter our perceptions of what a modern movie should look like but people just can't/won't accept the change - The Hobbit being the main example (I hated that at 48fps!)
 
You can't just make up detail that isn't there.

I think what shankly means is that it looks a lot better in motion and you can get a better grasp of what is happening, you can actually "make out" the fast paced scenes i.e. it doesn't look like the smeary mess of say a 60HZ IPS screen compared to a 144HZ TN panel for FPS gaming.

Agreed.

Nor would they be watching them on computer displays.
 
Careful shanks there might be a bug and you haven't noticed a bit like the freesync bug in your monitor moons ago;)

You talking about the AMA bug? I did notice it after really looking for it otherwise I wouldn't have sent monitor back ;)

Only testing image from some sites really showed it... After getting the new firmware and seeing the setting switch on and off could you really notice the difference..
 
60fps, so they are introducing filler frames ? lol. Its a useless and quite frankly horrible feature that I wouldnt want to be associated with. 24FPS (23.976) is the way its meant to be watched ;)

Nor is it in 16 - 235.
 
I watched the HFR version in 3D.

Awful. Bits looked sped up, it made everything look really cheap (when its anything but)

To be fair the remaining two films weren't much better in 2D 24fps though. Peter Jackson recently admitted he didn't even have a clue what he was doing when he filmed it as he didn't have time to prep so no storyboards or anything, he was making it up as they went along.

Got to say, it really shows.

Did you never get a chance to see the Hobbit in 48FPS ? It completely stripped all the 'film' look out of it, and only seemed to work when watching the 3D version.

What people call 'Film Look' is just motion blur and judder in scenes.

If you won't accept 24fps in a game and bash consoles for only managing 30fps then how can you accept it in a movie? I know there is more involved with input latency and responsiveness but the issue is still the same.
