Bravia KW series with MotionFlow

Re: Bravia KW series with MotionFlow

Motion flow is a love it or hate it feature because most people aren't viewing it in it's proper context. Unless you like your movies and shows to all look like it's filmed on a soap opera set I would recommend turning off motion flow for everything but sports and channels like the Discovery channel.

Movies and TV shows are filmed at 24 frames per second and motion flow is meant to enhance pictures that film digitally at 30-60 fps such as sports, documentaries, video games and talk show formats like Leno and Lettermen so it gives it that pop and reduces blurring.

Motion flow will give movies that 3d look but you will also get a plasticky picture where motion is unnatural and also the dreaded soap opera look that really ruins the movie viewing. It's not intended for movies and I really can't understand how someone can enjoy watching it that way because it lacks smoothness and the film like feel that was intended. It takes you out of the movie because everything looks fake but to each his own.

The problem is most manufacturers don't make it simple to turn motion flow on and off with one button if you change channels. For instance changing channels from a movie to football requires me to get into 2 menus and eventually pressing 3 buttons to turn motion flow on and off to suit the appropriate channel I'm watching. That's alot of trouble to go thru so many people can't be bothered which I can't fault them for.

The Bravia remotes have a "Theatre" mode button that switches the picture mode to Cinema and turns off Motion Flow.

Lucky you because my LG has the motion flow that has to be turned off and on in a sub menu so one press of the AV button won't do it.

Superior picture is all well and good, but it's only half the equation. Lossless audio is definitely worth the price of admission and greatly enhances the movie watching experience. (HDMI receiver, and above average speaker set).

Re: Bravia KW series with MotionFlow

really? I mean im not an eintsein or anything, but I do have an HDMI cable for my PS3 cennected to the HDMI 1 port and everytime I turn on the tv and go to HDMI port 1 itll say 1080i wierd.. owell either way, if you have an HDMI cord regardless this tv is high quality.
thanks for the kudos!
and yea it seems people either love or hate the motion flow im sooo into the love side lol. I could see some others needing to force themselves to try it out for a week or so to really see how they feel.

make sure you have 1080p selected in the ps3 menu under the video settings. Might not be checked if your previous tv was not 1080p.
