Honor will be hosting the Smart Life product launch event on May 18. A number of devices are expected at this event including a new smart TV. This TV has now confirmed to arrive with MEMC technology according to the latest teaser by the brand on Weibo.
MEMC (Motion Estimation / Motion Compensation) is not a new tech. It has been shipping with high-end televisions for a while now. Honor will be soon joining this bandwagon with its upcoming rumored 65-inch smart TV.
In a nutshell, MEMC adds extra frames into the video to make it play smoother. Though companies hype it, movies are actually not meant to be watched with higher frame rates. Standard movies are shot at 24fps and it is the best way to consume content.
On the other hand, MEMC, which is also known as ‘Motion Smoothing’ and ‘Soap Opera Effect’ is useful while playing video games. More the number of frames, better the gameplay with smoother animations.
These days, even smartphones come with this functionality. OnePlus promoted it for OnePlus 8 Pro but after the launch, the company did not advertise it all. Personally, I feel like MEMC is fine for TVs (only video games) but on phones, it is overkill without any benefit.
Anyway, we will know more about this Honor smart TV with MEMC when it will go official next week.
