Haha, yeah that's a funny analogy. I'm not sure if it's the refresh rate itself but something is probably making the picture feel like those old VHS taped low budget shows from the 90s which is what you are relating it to. I think it's because those shows filmed directly to videotape back then had less frames per second on the original recording so when they were broadcast in NTSC, you had frame multiplying and gives you that cheap effect.

Something on these new TVs, maybe the refresh rate or tech tricks like auto motion plus is doing the same thing - artificially showing more frames than are actually playing.
