Did you know that you needed 87 seconds of Tom Cruise,human actor, explaining motion smoothing?
Well that is the gift this day has bestowed upon us.
that you turn off your TVs motion smoothing.
It makes most movies look like they were shot on high-speed video rather than film.
This is sometimes referred to as the soap opera effect, Cruise explains.
Most HD TVs come with this feature already on, by default.
Turning it off requires navigating a set of menus with interpolation often referred to by another brand name.
Tom Cruise saying interpolation?
Give him a Nobel Prize!
Thats what I love, Cruiseonce said.
I love the cinema experience.
I prefer it with a packed audience.
What he does not prefer: your TVs motion smoothing!
Do yourself and, remember, Tom Cruise!
a favor and turn it off immediately.
