OLED vs Everything else for 24p stutter?

May not be the most popular, but I'm so sensitive to the judder on 24p content that I enable TruMotion on my LG OLED to max settings to try and smooth it out. Experts (like Vincent Teoh) would say disable it as I do everything else but I struggle with this one. Maybe due to being a PC gamer. Watching without interpolation it is like watching a literal slideshow to me, it also is quite difficult to see and process motion. Yes, you can get more used to it, but it is worse on OLED for sure. Older LCD panels with slower response times are actually better but also introduce blurring/ghosting and obviously are dated now.

Watching with TruMotion does introduce quite dramatic SOE as well as plenty of image artefacts where my ageing B7 can't quite get the interpolation right. I'm sure newer models are better though. If you're like me and you prefer to run games on lower visual settings but high frame rate, then you may feel the same about this.

All that said, I would still recommend OLED.

It was funny reading your post as I've been "dealing" with this for a couple decades. On my old CRT monitors I used to use a program to change the refresh rate as close to the 24 to help get rid of the judder. It is much better today where there are a few ways to sync exactly the output from my PC to TV

My test for this used to be Star Wars films when they are in the Jedi Temple meeting room and there is "traffic" panning across in the background but my best test is LotR: Fellowship of Ring at ~7min30s when the map of Middle Earth appears. That's one of the best places I can demonstrate it to people who have no clue as to what I'm talking about.

Currently I'm using KODI on the NVidia Shield Pro.

On the OLED side things have changed over the last few years so that different models have changed in the way they implement it and call it. In the later models it is called Real Cinema but they ultimately do the same thing.

I've found the OLED TV's to be pretty good in this regard so "sufferers" like us are pretty well catered for. Best of luck.

It's been a long time since I used a crt but why would you get judder? I thought they refreshed in a very different way to lcds so didn't have the same issue (although now I think about it I'm sure some were sold with 100hz instead of 50hz).

Yes CRT's in this sense were better than LCD's as they at least had the ability to change the refresh rate and remove 3:2 pulldown judder.

I started using a program called ReClock in ~2003 to achieve that.
