120hz hd televisions

Anyone experiencing motion sickness or head aches while having auto motion plus (120 hz)activated on their Hd tv's

Is your TV calibrated? The stock settings are known for giving head aches but don't know the source of motion sickness.

What are you using the 120hz for? Is there a noticable difference between 60 and 120?

No big difference between 120hz and 60hz on my tv. Not getting motion sickness but getting a head ache from the brightness and auto motion plus.

Do you have the avia calibration disc? It gets the basics done.

If you watch in complete darkness, try lowering your "backlight" setting to "0". If you have lights in the room, try to set it on "2"

I have a Samsung 46" series 5. Here are my settings. Try this out if you don't have a calibration disc and if you watch without any lights on...

Mode: Movie
Color Temperature: Warm2
Backlight: 0
Contrast: 100
Brightness: 44
Sharpness: 0
Tint: 50/50
Xvycc: ON
Color Space: Native

The XVycc setting can be found under "detailed settings"

Turn off "edge enhancement" or any "dynamic Contrast settings".
I know our TV's are from different series but hopefully this will help for now.

Sorry to hijack, but I have a 46" Samsung series 5, and I don't think my settings are correct either. I haven't used Avia, because I only have the old version (mainly for CRT). Did you find that it helped anyway? Also, why do you have contrast at 100, isn't that far too high?

I also enabled the automatic light adjustment feature. It seems to work OK. Are you using this? I assume it negates the backlight setting you discussed? Thanks!

It really helped with brightness, color, tint and sharpness. Also, you will need different settings for color and tint for XVycc on or off.

Color temp was a personal thing. I prefer my whites to have a slight red tint than a slight blue tint.

The contrast is where I got confused and spent a lot of time reading over at avsforum.com Found out some LCD's need contrast at max. This is because LCD"s work differently than crt. The illumination on an LCD display comes from the backlight. The contrast setting controls a filter screen which limits the amount of light getting though. So in order for the display to show the full shades of whatever color it's displaying, it needs contrast at 100.
If you find the image too bright, it's better to lower your backlight first than your contrast.

An easy way to check your display for this is to find a scene with a woman wearing a white dress with all sorts of detail and patterns. Turn the backlight down, watch with contrast at mid point. See how the shades of grey, small detal and patterns in the white dress are visible. Now max out the contrast and watch the scene again (or pause at a certain frame). If the tv is not made to use max contrast setting, the detail, shades, etc will dissapear, being taken over by white. Basically the image will look flat.

YOu probaly have a higher model than mine because mine doesn't have the atomatic light adjustment feature. I'm quite sure that feature controls your backlight depending on how much ambient light is in the room. But again their "ideal" automatic setting for the given amount of lighting in the room was programmed by somebody. So it may or may not be to your liking.

Keep in mind that having your backlight at min or low will increase lifespan.

120Hz looks pathetic for movies IMHO, but sports O.K.
It make movies look like video.
Get a Plasma and you will not have this problem. End of story.
