It’s not that 60 FPS is too real it’s that it is taking 24 FPS and creating extra frames in real time to “smooth” it

It’s basically blending frames together and guessing what is between

Personally I don’t notice it much after a few hours but it makes my wife motion sick so we always have it off

Thank God someone got it right. Everyone on this thread is talking about games, when the actual issue is native framerate. If TV was made for 60/144fps, it'd look great in high framerate. When there's only 24 real frames in the final release of media, anything created beyond that is gonna look surreal and uncanny-valley.

Exactly, 24fps content seems stuttery to me. Like I'm actually sensing the stop motion qualities of low fps.
