Mine's a 24" LED TV.  I've seen HD TVs and it gives things a grainy sort of look when you can see every single little detail.  Never was a big fan of it.  I prefer at least a bit of lens blur, otherwise it just looks like someone doctored it in Photoshop.

[Sakura Leic]

To me it looks smooth but at the same time too smooth at times and it's really hard to get over that.  It really depends on the channel and show though.

I honestly couldn't tell difference in quality with the Panty & Stocking Blu-ray/DVD set I got a long time ago between the DVD and Blu-ray version, but then again, there's a big difference my 40'' LG 1080p HDTV and my older brother's 62'' Sony 1080p HDTV (though I feel like his TV should be outputting at least 1440p or 4K), and I lack a Blu-ray player on both console and computer. If only I can rip the Blu-ray to watch 'em on WeedPlayer with SVP.

Well that's probably also because PSG was made in 480p and is a [tornado fang]ing upscale on Bluray (Shame too because in proper HD it would look great).

Honestly with animation made before 2007 typically Blu-ray won't do much better than what we have now and would gladly get DVDs. Otherwise I like my Blu-Rays.

Was the refresh-rate around 120Hz? My LG HDTV is LED and is 60Hz but I have no idea what the refresh-rate is on my brother's HDTV. His does have MotionFlow, which takes the "filmic" 24 FPS and turn it into something much smoother. I was watching Kingsman: The Secret Service on Blu-ray that he ordered a few weeks back and it looked very damn nice.

4K TV owner reporting in. Barely any, and by this I mean, BARELY ANY blu-ray media exists that displays in 4K or even 1440p resolution. If you run 1440p or 4K, then it's for the intent of gaming on a PC. Otherwise you're best off with a 1080p 30hz TV. (Seeing as The Hobbit is the only mainstream release I can think of that is filmed at 48FPS and thus can take advantage of 60Hz).

That said, thanks to pixel density, even upscaled 1080p media looks good on 4K displays, but there's still visible pixellation.

Yeah, misconception. 120Hz does nothing for 24Hz media. (Except possibly giving motion sickness.) When my TV runs in 1080p mode it switches to 120Hz and there's no visible difference. Again, games running in 120FPS on the other hand... That's noticeable.

Whatever that MotionFlow thing is, well, I don't know, but unless it functions on a software level like SVP, it's probably just placebo.

Like I said, if you're only watching movies/TV on it, you're best off with 1080p 30Hz.

Clef is right though. Any Blu-Ray before HD became mainstream is probably just upscaled and won't look better than a DVD, typically.

I don't know which HDTV you were looking at, but mine doesn't have grain whatsoever.

Pixelation does differ from TV to TV. My brother's HDTV for instance is cleaner than my parents'. Both are 1080p.

EDIT: And not all of what I said is entirely for certain. Just speaking from experience since, y'know, I have a TV that displays in both 2160p30 and 1080p120. Can't say the same for EVERY television out there.

[Quickman]

Yeah, some TVs look better than others.  Some have more pixelation, while others gives everything a waxy appearance.

[Amatiramisu]

All I can say is in all its stuttery 30FPS goodness, gaming at 4K makes everything feel inferior. Can't wait for HDMI 2.0/DisplayPort to become standardized so we can play 2160p60. That'll be the day.

[Sakura Leic]

Oh yeah it's the waxy ones that make me uncomfortable.

[ViperAcidZX]

Mine too, crystal-clear quality on mine. It's when I watch TV (on Dish, not Netflix or hulu on my PC or Xbox 360) is when things such because I don't have the receiver to output what I watch on TV 720p instead of sub-480p with 4:3 pillar boxing.

Whatever that MotionFlow thing is, well, I don't know, but unless it functions on a software level like SVP, it's probably just placebo.

It's pretty much SVP built into the TV; we were messing around with the settings when he got his 60'' HDTV with the Star Trek reboot movie (he was watching it, I was just there to help) and there was a perceivable difference in motion with it on and off and with the right motion level. I can kind of remember SVP mentioning MotionFlow on the front page.

I just use my TV to watch DVDs and play Wii.

One of the absolute best episodes of MST3K is on right now! 

[Sakura Leic]

I found a cuddly $5 Panda at Kohls and the profit also goes to help kids.  If that's not a win-win I have no idea what the hell is.

300 minutes long? Holy [parasitic bomb]

[Protoman Blues]

Haha, it was being shown live at the time. It's 2 episodes combined.

[Phi]

Okay, that makes sense.

[ViperAcidZX]

Man, I gotta watch this in the morning.

[Police Girl]

So I managed to buy a Disney Infinity Power disc set for The Force Awakens. (I say managed because this [parasitic bomb] is supposed to be register locked)

It doesn't work until the movie comes out. This is a good thing.

[Quickman]

So, a while ago, I requested a Hypno/Sylveon splice, and when I saw it, I wanted to draw it.  Never got around to it, and instead drew another character that had been sitting in my head forever.  When I decided to draw the Sylveno, I realized that I had already drawn it.



Ee-yup.

[Sakura Leic]

So I was minding my own business in my room when Snowball appeared out of nowhere and I was stumped about how she got in.  Apparently she was taking a nap in the opening my draped bed cover made, but seriously that was a mild WTF moment there.

Vegeta is a little too polite here, but I love this.

Welp looks like JonTron is going to cover the Star Wars Holiday Special next.  Wonder how he's going to deal with Grampa Wookie jacking off to whatever he's jacking off to, and the little Wookie putting together his machine following each tedious step in its entirety.

Let's see if he can top Nostalgia Critic's review.
