It's very annoying to me when I'm invited to watch a movie at a friends house on their new humongous super HD ultra plasma-whatever TV only to realize that all the money they spent on the TV and BD player is for nothing because the motion enhancements are turned on making the film look like a speed up soap opera. Even more annoying when I'm the only one in the room who even notices this and everyone else insists that it's better this way. Ugh...
It's even worse when people don't know the difference, IMO. I can at least see the appeal of high-refresh rates, and even appreciate them in video games/certain animation.
Yeah, that's the real kicker for me too. And you're right about video games. It often makes them look clearer, smoother and better. But it always makes films look artificial and cheap. At least from my experience.
