Possibly, but in the isf modes you can still alter anything to your hearts content, by the sounds of this movie mode it won't allow you to turn on motion interpolation etc, to be honest it's pointless as most people into their films will already have any motion settings etc turned off already.Wonder if this will be like the Netflix modes where it's basically a copy of the most accurate OOTB picture mode.

And these same people you are talking about already don't use the most accurate tv modes available to them , so why would they use a new movie mode? They will just leave it on whatever preset it's on when it comes out the box like they do now, that's why it's pointlessI don't think it's pointless, as this is clearly targeting people that don't understand how to setup their TV or what the advanced settings do.
I get how it will control settings like FI and sharpness enhancement, etc, but I wonder how it will attempt to control colour... This certainly won't include any colour calibration.
It won't get triggered automatically I wouldn't imagine as those getting their tv's calibrated would be miffedAlthough if it's getting triggered automatically then it will be used. I'm not sure I'd like the lack of control.
I'd be interested to know how accurate this will actually be when panel variation is taken into consideration. True many TVs are accurate out of the box, but there are still some that stray away from this.
You welcome it as you're into av stuff, the general Joe public won't give a monkey, if they don't use the most accurate modes now why would they use a dedicated movie mode?Like any other feature on a TV, you will be able to switch it off. However, I really welcome things like this and the Netflix Calibrated mode if it gets the wider public at least trying to watch content properly.
This is also not a new feature idea. THX had a version many moons ago that used metadata to set the TV up correctly for SD and HD content, but at the time it wasn't taken on board by manufacturers or content creators.
From the press release "Notably, unlike some picture modes which may require the user to enter one or more menus to find and select, Filmmaker Mode will be activated either automatically, through metadata embedded in the content, or through a single button which enables the consumer to activate Filmmaker Mode without moving through multiple menu levels."It won't get triggered automatically I wouldn't imagine as those getting their tv's calibrated would be miffed
I can't see it happening where it automatically selects that mode in all honestyFrom the press release "Notably, unlike some picture modes which may require the user to enter one or more menus to find and select, Filmmaker Mode will be activated either automatically, through metadata embedded in the content, or through a single button which enables the consumer to activate Filmmaker Mode without moving through multiple menu levels."
I've been doing this and dealing with the public for nearly 20 years now. I know all of the points you make, but that doesn't mean we give up trying to push the right message. People have a choice and all I want is the correct choice to be included and pushed, like the Netflix mode, like the 'Hollywood in your home' and 'From lens to the home' messages. Adding in this filmmaker mode is a welcome idea.You welcome it as you're into av stuff, the general Joe public won't give a monkey, if they don't use the most accurate modes now why would they use a dedicated movie mode?
I try telling friends etc when visiting about how poor the dynamic mode is they are using with ridiculous soap opera effect, you show them how it should look but they prefer the dynamic mode as the colours have more 'pop' innit bruv.
You can't educate some people unfortunately.
It won't be perfect, it is a tool to get people into the correct settings. Saying that, almost every TV I have measured this year out of the box (manufacturer and retailer supplied) have been very accurate and to a level that even videophiles would struggle to tell are OOTB.So to achieve this mode, the TV's will be calibrated at the factory? Would there still be a need for ISF calibration/ modes? Would be interesting to know how they compare as the ambient lighting would still be a factor e.g. brightness
It won't interfere, there will be an off switch like there is for most features on modern TVs.As long as this doesn't interfere with a calibrated TV then I'm fine with this option. I presume it would be slightly fancier version of Real Cinema which from memory is locked when autocal is on. I'm hopeful that if LG implement this correctly it should not interfere with a calibrated TV and in fact they may do the same with this as they did with the Real Cinema option - George
And if they do use the new mode the resulting picture might be alien to them especially if they are used to vivid mode colours and sharpness.And these same people you are talking about already don't use the most accurate tv modes available to them , so why would they use a new movie mode?

Which is where education has to helpAnd if they do use the new mode the resulting picture might be alien to them especially if they are used to vivid mode colours and sharpness.
