"Too bright, too contrasty, and way too many motion-smoothing and artifact-filtering options turned on, or turned too high."

The stores do that intentionally for effect to counter their bright lights. An honest salesman will tell you so.

“The stores do that intentionally for effect to counter their bright lights. An honest salesman will tell you so. “

On initial set-up, my new OLED had me choose whether the use would be at home or in-store. I chose the former, obviously. But even with that, the default options are pretty much maximum OLED brightness and close to maximum contrast. It certainly “pops” and may wow people at first, but it’s not what I would call a good picture.

The motion-smoothing crap is turned on by default for just about every preset video mode on the TV. I don’t like it, and it’s not just the extra frames. It’s that they’re interpolated frames, which means sometimes they show things which just aren’t part of the actual action. You end up with motion that falls into the “uncanny valley” where you can’t put your finger on exactly what is wrong with it, but you know there’s something wrong.

Speaking of motion-smoothing, I had that enabled while watching the credits of some show that also had some other stuff going on on the screen, perpendicular to the motion of the text. “Motionflow” made an absolute mess of it, full of artifacts. Interpolation frames that aren’t there is just a bad idea, IMO.
