Recently I have been furnishing a new apt. (key to unlock my recent purchases thread post) and I talked myself (very easily-work stress impulse shopping) into a flat screen TV. It is a sony with the motion flow 120hz technology. It is not true cinema, but the next level lower, I think. I feel that the movement kind of freaks me a bit. It is so clear and uninterrupted that it almost feels unnatural... This is my first LCD flat screen though. Does anyone else feel this way or did you feel this way when changing over? Perhaps I am just so used to staring at bad picture for so long, that my brain does not know how to process such good visuals...I am sure I will get used to it eventually, it just really weirds me out.Distraction is an obstruction of the construction.

Though in all honesty I think LCD,s as far as they have come still suffer from some seriuos motion lag and stutter.
This is most often noticed during fast action scenes where you can see some (Judder) behind the image moving.
The worst Judder though is during panning of scenes where the camera moves across the screen.
I still very much prefer Plasma to LCD but thats a whole nother forum...
Congrats on your new purchase though..

@kira: you are not alone in this perceptual weirdness. I don't own one of these super deluxe tvs, but I've clocked in a lot of hours with friends' and fwiw I drastically prefer having motion smoothing turned off. I find that the motion smoothing processing turns even the best hd/blu ray image into what looks like really wonky high res video. you should be able to turn this off in the video settings menu on your tv, where it will probably be called "film mode" or something similar.

maybe belongs in recent purchases thread but just got a paul mccobb shelving system for cheap that is very minimal - metal and wood (not dated or looking especially mid century or anything like that). To think I could have used the same money to buy a few RO tees....

actually i don't really like the straf... even though it's been praised so much... i think the industrial aesthetic is really dated and so done... i realize much of his furniture comes out of this project and am glad to see them evolve past the very 80's rawness...
nevertheless, keen to see his new projects.
not a great fan of haute though... seems very ordinary and does not fit very well.
