I had to disconnect my TV and Verizon FIOS box. When I reconnected, every TV show and film looks like it was shot on video, instead of film. What happened? How do I get it back to normal?
It is called "Soap Opera Effect" and is caused by higher frame rate. Films are mostly made using "magical" 24 frames/s. I can set my Samsung LED TV to max frame rate of 240Hz and get the same effect. It is possible that when reconnecting you used different HDMI input (that had high frame rate by default) . My TV has separate settings for each input and each mode.
You may have hit it. I changed HDMI inputs from HDMI 2 to 4. I am going to go back to original 2 and see what happens. I have tried all the filter and resoultion settings I can control or can find, and none of that helped.
