Movies/TV Shows Look like Video


In certain newer HDTV's, movies and filmed TV shows look like they were shot on video. I have debated this with family members, as I am convinced this is a function of their TV settings, not how the movies/shows are supposed to look. They say I am outdated; tghias is the way it is supposed to appear.

Am I imagining things, or have they misset their TV's -- or have I?

I totally agree. A lot of BlueRay movies look like they are closed circuit TV or soap opera video to me. Way too much contract and too sharp. Interestingly, it doesn't look like this when you see it at the movies.

I have not bought into BlueRay yet because of this. I just don't enjoy watching a movie when it looks like actors on a soundstage instead of characters in a story.

It's a preference thing. Many people think it is really cool to see things with such realism. But for me it just takes away from the movie experience.
