Thanksgiving... a.k.a. the perfect time to stealthily turn off motion smoothing on your relatives' TVs.

@tvaziri or turn it back on if they misbehaved last year

@tvaziri They keep changing it back so I gave up!

@tvaziri My parents need a new TV. Every TV I've looked at listed motion smoothing as a selling point. Will we ever see *no motion smoothing* listed as a selling point?

@tvaziri And while you’re at it, PIN block Fox News.

@tvaziri OMG yes. Silo S2E1 was so dark on my OLED TV I had to switch from proper setting to a more “bright” one, and I immediately felt the video looked accelerated… Turn out that mode had motion smoothing on. Does anyone really like this better???

@tvaziri I house sat at my mom’s for two weeks. Not sure how i didn't do this lol. I didn't notice it as much watching baseball, but did when watching a movie.

@tvaziri Dang it! They’re coming to my house.

@tvaziri thx but never mind. YouTube is a no no.

@tvaziri tried to change it at a hospital, and they disabled the menu options. Why make people suffer more
