I often just start crying because nothing seems worthwhile. About all I have to look forward to in life is watching some TV or a film in the evening and that increasingly just has no pay off. It’s very hard to get motivated because of the idea that it’s all kind of pointless permeates everything. I would prefer to be gone but I’m too afraid to do that and don’t want to hurt anyone I leave behind.

Pretty sure that every week since I joined a few months ago, Rumours is high in the top streamed albums list. It’s a good album but what’s going on?

Does anyone know how TruMotion works at quite a low level, for each de-judder value? Has anyone tried to analyse this, perhaps with HFR cameras or technical industry knowledge?

Let me walk through an example of what I mean. Take 24fps content displayed at 120hz. If you have TruMotion disabled and it’s doing “Real Cinema” 5:5 pulldown, each frame is repeated 5 times.

Now with TruMotion, I’m guessing it uses that 5 frame “space” to do its interpolation. Rather than just repeat frames, it calculates middle ground between frames and displays that instead. But it only has 5 frames to play with…

Lets say we set maximum dejudder for TruMotion. My naive, basic assumption would be that it’s going to use all those “spare” frames for interpolation: 1 original frame followed by 4 interpolated ones, each one of those interpolated frames taking us a small step closer to the next original frame. So now you have what is effectively 120fps (24fps x 5). Yes, it’s not going to be great, not a native 120fps, because those interpolated frames are likely to have artifacts, miscalculations etc. I’m not here to debate the quality or value of TruMotion, just understand how it works.

A middle-ish setting for dejudder might do something like: 1 original frame held for 2 frames, then an interpolated frame held for 3 frames, before it finally moves to the next original frame, and repeat. You get something which is effectively 48fps (24fps x 2).

You can already see here that the frame pacing isn’t even, you have something _akin_ to the 3:2 pulldown issue when displaying 24fps content at 60hz. There simply isn’t enough room for it to interpolate evenly. Furthermore, I can’t see how there could be 10 discrete values for dejudder when there aren’t 10 combinations of what you could do with that 5 frame space, to my mind. Therefore, I am certain my naive understanding is wrong or incomplete, and I would LOVE for someone to explain how it really works, or point me in the direction of material which does.

Thank you!

Warm 50 used to target D65 until the 2025 series TVs, where it became warm 40 to give some headroom. With webOS 25 now having rolled out to older panels, has it changed on those too? Or is it tied to the panel/hardware? Has anyone done measurements/calibrations on older TVs with latest firmware? Thanks!

This movie came out in UK cinemas a month ago and is winding down; I don’t think I can fit in taking my kids to see it before it leaves my local cinemas entirely.

I can’t find any speculation about a digital release date and noticed it’s not due to release in US cinemas till August!

Is this likely to hold up a digital release? Are there any precedents for this kind of release structure and if so, how did it play out for the digital release? Thanks!
