Tis the season for TV shopping.
From American Public Media, this is Marketplace Tech.
I'm Megan McCarty Carino.
Today's top OLED and LED TVs offer more for your dollar than ever.
Blacker blacks, brighter brights, and up to 8K ultra high definition.
But modern TVs have their haters.
Rahul Banerjee, a tutor in Long Island, is among the afflicted.
So is food scientist Vikrant Lal in New Jersey.
He notices weird things on screen that other people don't.
No, this isn't a sixth sense kind of thing.
It's a problem with watching cinematic content like that on modern TVs.
All those spooky, slow pans and tense tracking shots meant to pull viewers into the imaginary world just look wrong to them somehow.
Banerjee has actually bought and returned two top-of-the-line OLED TVs.
So he bought an old plasma screen on Facebook Marketplace for $40, while two is a plasma partisan.
We'll be right back.
You're listening to Marketplace Tech.
I'm Megan McCarty Carino with more on the problem with modern TVs.
New LED and OLED TVs can display images in much higher resolution than plasmas.
The picture is so clear, bright, and sharp, it can feel like you're right there at the 50-yard line of a football game, and you can actually follow the passes downfield.
But the same advances that have made TVs better for sports have actually made them worse in some ways for movies, says Samuel Breton at the TV testing site Readings.com.
