The contagious visual blandness of Netflix

How low frame rate looks is dependent on the display technology. It looks good when the the frame or pixels are displayed for a very short amount of time (like on a CRT or a film projector) or when the transition between frames is gradual (like on TFT and IPS panels). It looks not so great on an OLED screen where the pixels are continuously lit up and the transition is near instantaneous.

You'd hope that cinemas use a display technology which is optimized for looking good at low refresh rates, _especially_ those big expensive IMAX cinemas. Yet big panning shots at 24 FPS looks like a choppy mess there too.

Newer OLEDs can be configured to do Blank Frame Insertion (BFI), sold under various confusing marketing names.

Only problem is it massively reduces perceived brightness—an area where OLED already lags behind LCD.
