Nah, I know what he means - I think others do too. There is a different "feel" to movies versus television shows (minus the stylistic variations, etc.). This is mostly due to framerate, and like he said, the motion blurring. It makes sense though that people have different expectations for different mediums - so people might have the expectation of something over 30 frames per second with videogames. Makes sense! >>From my understanding a standard CRT monitor has an inherent limit at around 60 frame per second (60 Hz), because the actual phosphors in the screen can't react faster than that. So any discussion of framerate beyond that is just showing off the capabilities of your system :) :) I am happy with 30 fps, as long as there's no bad lag or dizzyness :). -David
