This is a straw man. Interpolated tweening frames are not the same as actual frames with new content.
It may look like trash, but--then again--so do upscaled images.

Your dissection of what is wrong with Samsung's interpolation had nothing whatsoever to do with seanalltogether's comment.
Now come back at me with some word-by-word, point-by-point dissection, but i'm done, this isn't worth it.
Absolutely preposterous. Depth of field is a function of lens focal length, aperture, and sensor size. There is no way that Samsung's TV could in any way effect the depth of field of the original recording. If it could, then it would be a magical motherfucking TV.
Because as much as you clearly know about film tech more than I do, you seem to be lacking a slight amount of common sense: What's happening there is processing of a digital signal. Specifically, the TV is creating frames for you to create the illusion of smoother video. And what this effect does, is it appears to flatten the shot.
What your slashdot-worthy post overlooks is that you're speaking from your limited knowledge of film. However, in this TV, there's a feature that lets you apply this setting to just half the screen, so you can see them both, side by side, and tweak as you wish.
Just like in life, there's no amount of theoretical education than can make-up for actually being there, for actually having hands-on.
So really, save the hyperbole.
