I bought a new LG 52" 1080P LCD with 120Hz refresh rate. The picture is amazing for sports and nature stuff like the Discovery channel and National geographic. Sports, action and video games look fantastic with no blurring because of the higher refresh rate. One problem though, the TV is so sharp and 3 dimensional that movies and shows like CSI and Dexter look like they are straight out of a soap opera set because of the depth of the picture.
Bluray movies like the new Raiders movie are laughable to watch because if thier are any questionable CGI scenes all it's shortcomings are painfully obvious. Even some scenes in Batman Begins show this. Don't get me wrong some of the outside scenes are mind bogglingly beautiful but some indoor scenes and some CGI look so phony that it almost takes you out of the movie. In some movies it's obvious they are on a set when it's supposed to be a an outdoor scene. In other words the TV is so good it's bad. Even regular DVD's exhibit this depth. I won't even bother with Bluray reviews anymore for picture quality, every friggin Bluray I have looks the same which is incredible where I feel like they're in the room with me.
I like the film like feel to a movie that I had with my old CRT TV. I played around with the cinema mode(which shows movies at the same frame rate that movies are shot in: i.e. 24 FPS. and it's helped a little but it still looks too 3 dimensional. I still feel it looks like I'm watching the Young and the Restless at times.
I just want my cake and eat it too. I want what this TV gives me for sports and PS3 games but still want my movies to look like movies. So I need help, any of you guys have the same kind of problem with your TV and what have you done to help watching movies the way they should be viewed. Or am I out of luck and when the Dark Knight comes out on Bluray I should rename it the Dark Knight and the Restless.
