Has anyone else experienced this: when watching old movies (or just black/white movies), it feels uncomfortable for only the first few minutes, and then you completely forget about the bad image quality. It's like the brain performs the upscaling/coloring for you.
I'm colour blind, and strangely when I start watching something in black and white, I don't know it's in black and white! - I only realise when someone else mentions it, and even then it takes a while for me to see it.
It's weird, like my brain is automatically filling in colours that aren't there.
I remember experiencing this with the stop-motion movie 'chicken run' from 2000 [0].
The movie has a rather low frame-rate (due to the stop-motion production) and when I started watching my immediate thought was: I can't watch this, this is terribly stuttery. But after about 10 minutes or so my brain adjusted and I no longer noticed the stuttering.
