I find things like this annoying and literally no one I know seems to notice them at all. I went to see across the spider verse in “IMAX” with some friends and could literally see the pixels of the projector. Great movie, but if I’m going to see a movie in IMAX I shouldn’t be having issues with the resolution.
Very slightly misaligned picture frames on the wall! OMG!
Oooh same, like down to the tenths of a degree.
Oh yes… And I hate it. I see every little flaw in movies, games but even things outside which aren’t well made or slightly off.
Slight stutters in games, if it doesn’t run super smooth, it drives me crazy.
I hate most LED TVs because I notice every time they step down/up the brightness with their dynamic contrast. Plasma or OLED all the way.
Of course. I find this a lot with people using my home network or services. I have some enterprise equipment for networking and host multiple services and when someone has a page loading for a little too long or poor connection i don’t think they notice but it forces me to end up spending hours trying to diagnose it
The thing that sets me off is the sort of sparkly chime in the higher frequencies of badly compressed audio. It does something bad to my brain, literally gives me unpleasant shivers. No one else I’ve asked about it hears it or has any negative reaction from it. It’s like the worst possible ASMR response or something for me. It’s caused me to become a moderate audiophile, which is endlessly mocked by the internet at large. iTunes and Spotify are mostly okay, but once I discovered you can download FLAC on Bandcamp I’ve never gone back.
Yes. Muddy video, pixels, and now because I have one of the hi-res audio players and a pretty large collection of 24bit albums I can really notice lossy audio if I am using headphones.
Youtube auto-changing the resolution. I didn’t really notice until I was watching some City Skyline play but it makes that kind of video unwatchable. They’ll say they do it based off of internet connection, but I installed an extension that forces 720p and have no problem watching videos without pause-loading. Its just a cost shave thing that bugs me
Apparently I am really sensitive to motion smoothing/video interpolation/“soap opera effect” that TVs do now. I’ve pointed out that people have the setting on so many times and most of them never noticed things looked weird.

Oh for sure, some people just have heightened sensitivity to things like that. Frametime in videogames is a big one for me. Latency and frame pacing is so noticeable in a videogame even if fps looks stable.
