High refresh rates cause what has become known as the Soap Opera Effect. Everything looks so real that your high budget films with fabby props look like an amateur dramatics club borrowed a friend's camcorder and lit their set with fluorescent tubes. You might have heard that test audiences hated the first screenings of The Hobbit because the high refresh rate made, what looked like dwarves in a hobbit hole in 24Hz look like men with fake hair glued to their face in an artificial set with cheap props.GooberTheHat wrote:Why's that 3? what does it do that is so bad?

Elmlea wrote:24Hz makes more sense than 24p, tbh. The p just comes from when they refer to 24Hz 1080p footage as 1080/24p, right? In itself it doesn't stand for anything. Hz makes sense because at least there's 24 frames per second.
